Wang, Zuowei; O'Reilly, Tenaha; Sabatini, John; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2021
We compared high school students' performance in a traditional comprehension assessment requiring them to identify key information and draw inferences from single texts, and a scenario-based assessment (SBA) requiring them to integrate, evaluate and apply information across multiple sources. Both assessments focused on a non-academic topic.…

Sabatini, John; O'Reilly, Tenaha; Wang, Zuowei; Dreier, Kelsey – Grantee Submission, 2018
This book is a testament to the increasing role and importance of multiple source use in everyday and academic literacy activities in the 21st century. How should we introduce the topic of multiple sources here? For most readers, we need not, because this chapter is not their first literacy stop in the volume, so the topic has been adequately…

McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Guerrero, Tricia A.; Kent, Kevin M.; Allen, Laura K.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Chao, Szu-Fu; Steinberg, Jonathan; O'Reilly, Tenaha; Sabatini, John – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2018
Background knowledge is a strong predictor of reading comprehension, yet little is known about how different types of background knowledge affect comprehension. The study investigated the impacts of both domain and topic-specific background knowledge on students' ability to comprehend and learn from science texts. High school students (n = 3,650)…
