Direct linkLai, Stephanie A.; George Benjamin, Rebekah; Schwanenflugel, Paula J.; Kuhn, Melanie R. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2014
Fluent readers can read connected text with accuracy, automaticity, and prosody. Without practice, automaticity cannot develop in reading, and readers must focus their attention on decoding, limiting their ability to simultaneously comprehend. Researchers have traditionally assumed that fluency and comprehension have a unidirectional relationship…

Meisinger, Elizabeth B.; Bradley, Barbara A.; Schwanenflugel, Paula J.; Kuhn, Melanie R. – School Psychology Review, 2010
The purpose of the study was to investigate teachers' perceptions of word callers related to the concepts of reading fluency and reading comprehension. To this end, second-grade students (N = 408) completed a series of reading fluency and reading comprehension assessments, and their teachers (N = 31) completed word caller nominations and a…

Meisinger, Elizabeth B.; Bradley, Barbara A.; Schwanenflugel, Paula J.; Kuhn, Melanie R.; Morris, Robin D. – School Psychology Quarterly, 2009
The purpose of the study was to investigate (a) the prevalence of word callers in elementary school, (b) the accuracy of teachers' word caller nominations, and (c) teachers' conceptualization of reading fluency and reading comprehension. To this end, 2 cross-sectional studies of second- and third- (N = 868) and of third- and fifth-grade (N = 202)…

Schwanenflugel, Paula J.; Kuhn, Melanie R.; Morris, Robin D.; Morrow, Lesley Mandel; Meisinger, Elizabeth B.; Woo, Deborah Gee; Quirk, Matthew; Sevcik, Rose – Literacy Research and Instruction, 2009
The purpose of the study was to examine short- and long-term effects of two instructional approaches designed to improve the reading fluency of second-grade children: Fluency-Oriented Reading Instruction (or FORI; Stahl & Heubach, 2005) and a wide reading approach (Kuhn et al., 2006). By the end of second grade, children in the wide reading…

Kuhn, Melanie R.; Schwanenflugel, Paula J.; Morris, Robin D.; Morrow, Lesley Mandel; Woo, Deborah Gee; Meisinger, Elizabeth B.; Sevcik, Rose A.; Bradley, Barbara A.; Stahl, Steven A. – Journal of Literacy Research, 2006
The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of two instructional approaches designed to improve the reading fluency of 2nd-grade children. The first approach was based on Stahl and Heubach's (2005) fluency-oriented reading instruction (FORI) and involved the scaffolded, repeated reading of grade-level texts over the course of each week.…

Schwanenflugel, Paula J.; Meisinger, Elizabeth B.; Wisenbaker, Joseph M.; Kuhn, Melanie R.; Strauss, Gregory P.; Morris, Robin D. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2006
The goals of this study were to (a) develop an empirically based model regarding the development of fluent and automatic reading in the early elementary school years and (b) determine whether fluent text-reading skills provided benefits for reading comprehension beyond those accounted for by fluent word decoding. First-, second-, and third-grade…

Schwanenflugel, Paula J.; Hamilton, Anne Marie; Kuhn, Melanie R.; Wisenbaker, Joseph M.; Stahl, Steven A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2004
Prosodic reading, or reading with expression, is considered one of the hallmarks of fluent reading. The major purpose of the study was to learn how reading prosody is related to decoding and reading comprehension skills. Suprasegmental features of oral reading were measured in 2nd- and 3rd-grade children (N = 123) and 24 adults. Reading…
