Cho, Eunsoo; Capin, Philip; Roberts, Greg; Roberts, Garrett J.; Vaughn, Sharon – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
In the present study, we compared the extent to which linguistic comprehension (vocabulary and listening comprehension) and word reading explain reading comprehension differentially for English learners (ELs) and non-ELs with reading difficulties. We also investigated whether different mechanisms of reading comprehension failure exist for each…
