Giving a Text Voice Can Improve Students' Understanding.
Beck, Isabel L.; And Others
Reading Research Quarterly, v30 n2 p220-38 Apr-Jun 1995
Examines effects on recall and comprehension of a passage from a fourth-grade textbook and versions revised for greater coherence or to exhibit voice. Finds that, immediately after reading, the voiced coherent passage held significant advantage over all other passages in both recall and comprehension. Finds similar, though statistically insignificant, results after a delay. (RS)
