Peng Peng; Yuting Liu; Kelly Cartwright; Marc Goodrich; Natalie Koziol; Chi Ma; Caroline Whitmarsh – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: The study explored the distinct contributions of domain-general, behavioral, and reading-specific executive function to reading comprehension, and whether reading fluency and vocabulary moderate or mediate the relations between executive function and reading comprehension. Method: Data were collected from 129 4th and 5th graders (35.66%,…

Kristen E. Job – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Students who are considered "Stealth Dyslexics" may use their gifts and talents to mask their disability until the time comes when the rigor of academics peels away the mask and students are identified in middle or high school with dyslexia or reading difficulties. The primary aim of this mixed methods study was to investigate a reading…

George K. Georgiou; Kyriakoula Rothou – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Researchers tend to use oral- and silent-reading fluency measures interchangeably and to generalize research findings across reading modes, especially from oral to silent reading. In this study, we sought to examine if oral and silent word-reading fluency rely on the same cognitive-linguistic skills. Three hundred and forty-five Greek children (80…

Psyridou, Maria; Tolvanen, Asko; Niemi, Pekka; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Torppa, Minna – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Purpose: This study examines the developmental interplay between silent reading fluency and reading comprehension from Grade 1 to Grade 9 (age 7 to 15) in a large Finnish sample (N = 2,518). Of particular interest was whether the associations are bidirectional or unidirectional. Methods: Children's silent reading fluency and reading comprehension…

Yahua Cheng; Yixun Li; Wenjian Zhang; Kaiyue Jia – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
Previous studies uncover that vocabulary knowledge may be related to compound structure awareness (the awareness of relational structure embedded in compound words), and they both contribute to reading comprehension. Yet, limited studies have examined the dynamic relationship between vocabulary knowledge and compound structure awareness, or their…

Bilge, Huzeyfe – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2023
Although the relationship between reading fluency and high-stakes test achievement is well known, studies were conducted in similar contexts. This correlational study aimed to investigate the relationship between reading error types (insertions, omissions, mispronunciations, and total) and reading fluency (rate, accuracy, and prosody) in narrative…

Dilgard, Cortney; Hodges, Tracey S. – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2022
Phonics and fluency instruction are primarily viewed as elementary-centric skills that do not have a place in middle school, which may neglect the usefulness this type of instruction provides to older students. Literacy centers are one method for successfully teaching these skills in a middle school setting. The purpose of this paper is to provide…

Laura S. Tortorelli; Adrea J. Truckenmiller – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2024
Research has established that reading and writing skills are closely linked for most individuals, which can be explained by the shared knowledge and functional relations theoretical perspectives. The current study used quantile regression to explore differences between and within Grades 3-5 in the United States in the associations between a…

Musti, Shobana; Smith, Jesslyn M.; Begeny, John C. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2023
Text reading fluency is an important reading goal for all students. Students with a known reading disability often need systematic and evidence-based instructional supports to reach grade-level benchmarks in fluency. A recent focus on high-impact tutoring practices has given attention to the virtual or remote implementation of programs. This…

Miao Li; Yueming Xi; Esther Geva; Rong Yan; Wei Zhao – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
It has been suggested that the reading acceleration program (RAP) (Breznitz et al. in Nature Communications 4: 1486, 2013), in which participants are forced to read at a rate faster than their normal reading fluency rate, improves reading fluency and comprehension in alphabetic languages. However, its effectiveness has never been examined in…

Virinkoski, Riitta; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Eklund, Kenneth; Aro, Mikko – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
This study investigated special educational needs (SEN) teachers' (n = 29) assessment practices and the accuracy of their ratings of the students' (M age = 12.75 years, n = 55) skill levels in reading fluency and reading comprehension. Teachers rated their sixth grade students' fluency and comprehension on a three-point scale, and the students…

Belden Liswaniso – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2023
Background: By Grade 4, learners should be able to read fluently and comprehend reading materials at their grade level. However, many learners in Africa, particularly in the Namibian context, seem to go through the primary phase with poor reading skills. Aim: This article examines the overall reading growth of Grade 5 learners, and then…

Juliette Quadri; Justine Masson; Martine Poncelet – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
The purpose of this study was to investigate if a group of sixth-grade low achievement language minority (LM) students' reading skills could be improved by an intervention designed to train reading fluency, a critical component of reading development, defined as integrating speed and accuracy (reading rate) as well as prosody. The study included…

Wolters, Alissa P.; Kim, Young-Suk Grace; Szura, John William – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
We examined the relation between reading prosody and reading comprehension, using a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the strength of the relation and to understand whether the strength of the relation varies by prosody feature (adult-like contour, F0 sentence-final declination, grammatical pauses, ungrammatical pauses, prosody…

Matthew K. Burns; McKinzie D. Duesenberg-Marshall; Monica E. Romero – Journal of Educational Research, 2024
Partner reading with paragraph shrinking has been shown to be an effective classwide reading intervention in elementary school, but has yet to be studied with eighth-grade students or with content area reading such as science and social studies. The current study examined the effects of implementing the classwide intervention for 3 wk with 86…
