Reading Skill and the Processing of Text Structure.

Backman, Jarl; And Others

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v28 n3 p113-28 1984

Divided into poor readers and good readers, 144 Swedish students (13-14 years old) participated in an experiment in which oral reading speed, free recall, and summarization of narrative stories presented on videotex were studied as a function of reading skill, text structure, and physical factors. Good readers outperformed poor readers. (BRR)
