The Simple View of Reading (SVR), which posits that reading comprehension is the product of decoding and linguistic comprehension, has been studied extensively with school-age readers. However, little is known about the intricacies of the SVR for adults who struggle with reading. This study addresses notable gaps in this literature, including the…

Tighe, Elizabeth L.; Little, Callie W.; Arrastia-Chisholm, Meagan Caridad; Schatschneider, Christopher; Diehm, Emily; Quinn, Jamie M.; Edwards, Ashley A. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
The purpose of this study was to examine the shared, direct, and indirect contributions of three metalinguistic skills (phonological awareness, morphological awareness, orthographic knowledge) to the reading comprehension abilities of struggling adult readers. Across studies, these three metalinguistic skills have individually emerged as important…

Talwar, Amani; Greenberg, Daphne; Tighe, Elizabeth L.; Li, Hongli – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Research with school-age readers suggests that the contributions of reading and language skills vary across reading comprehension assessments and proficiency levels. With a sample of 168 struggling adult readers, we estimated the explanatory effects of decoding, oral vocabulary, listening comprehension, fluency, background knowledge, and…

Talwar, Amani; Tighe, Elizabeth L.; Greenberg, Daphne – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018
This study explored the background knowledge (BK) and reading comprehension (RC) relationship for struggling adult readers. Using confirmatory factor analyses, a single-factor BK model exhibited better fit than a two-factor model separating academic knowledge and general information, which indicates that BK represents a unidimensional construct…

Tighe, Elizabeth L.; Schatschneider, Christopher – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
The current study employed a meta-analytic approach to investigate the relative importance of component reading skills to reading comprehension in struggling adult readers. A total of 10 component skills were consistently identified across 16 independent studies and 2,707 participants. Random effects models generated 76 predictor-reading…
