Bronson Hui – Modern Language Journal, 2024
Audiobooks allow language learners to read and listen to the same text simultaneously; yet the effects of this bimodal input (written and spoken) on learners' comprehension have been inconsistent, suggesting that the conditions under which audiobooks can help comprehension are not well understood. As such, I explored silent reading speed and text…

Junko Yamashita; Toshihiko Shiotsu; Kunihiro Kusanagi – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This longitudinal study investigated development of second language (L2) reading comprehension ability and predictive contributions of five L2 reading components (word recognition speed, listening comprehension, vocabulary breadth, grammar knowledge and first language [L1] reading comprehension) using latent growth curve modelling. The…

Parker, Adam J.; Räsänen, Milla; Slattery, Timothy J. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
When displaying text on a page or a screen, only a finite number of characters can be presented on a single line. If the text exceeds that finite value, then text wrapping occurs. Often this process results in longer, more difficult to process words being positioned at the start of a line. We conducted an eye movement study to examine how this…

Michelle L. Rizzella; Edward J. O'Brien – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
We examined the impact of prospective information on the processing of information occurring within the present timeline of narrative stories. Participants read target sentences that were consistent with events occurring within a protagonist's present timeline but inconsistent with events in the protagonist's future. When prospective information…

Background: South Africa's PIRLS 2021 outcomes revealed that learners struggle with comprehension. The reasons for poor reading need to be identified and addressed to stem this challenge. Aim: This study assessed Sesotho Grade 4 learners' knowledge of simple and complex letter sounds, their oral reading fluency and the relationship to their oral…

Soysal, Taskin – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2022
Accurate and effective reading depends on several variables such as the continuation of the reading activity at a certain speed, the understanding of what is read at a certain level, and having a positive attitude towards reading. In this study, research was conducted to determine whether there is any relationship between reading attitude and…

Corrin Moss; Sharon Kwabi; Scott P. Ardoin; Katherine S. Binder – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
The ability to form a mental model of a text is an essential component of successful reading comprehension (RC), and purpose for reading can influence mental model construction. Participants were assigned to one of two conditions during an RC test to alter their purpose for reading: concurrent (texts and questions were presented simultaneously)…

Cheetham, Dominic – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2023
The positive effects of bi-modal input on language learning are becoming a largely accepted experimental finding. However, experiments looking at bi-modal reading in a foreign language are normally limited by the common experimental situation of classroom-based researchers studying university age participants for the limited timespan of a…

Christofalos, Andriana L.; Raney, Gary E.; Daniel, Frances; Demos, Alexander P. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2020
Background: Research shows that providing readers with a title prior to reading a passage increases comprehension compared with reading a passage without a title. However, the specific type of comprehension that is facilitated by the presence of a title and how this relates to reading time has not been examined. We present three experiments in…

Fungai Mutema; Elizabeth J. Pretorius – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2024
Background: Although Zimbabwe has performed quite well on Grade 6 SACMEQ literacy assessments compared to other African countries, reading levels are generally low and there is little research on reading literacy in Zimbabwean primary schools. Aim: Grade 3 and 4 learners' reading comprehension (RC), accuracy and speed in oral reading fluency (ORF)…

Clemens, Nathan H.; Hsiao, Yu-Yu; Lee, Kejin; Martinez-Lincoln, Amanda; Moore, Clinton; Toste, Jessica; Simmons, Leslie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
Reading comprehension tests vary in format and characteristics, which may influence the extent to which component skills are involved in test performance. With students in Grades 6 to 8 with reading difficulties, dominance analyses examined the differential importance of component reading and language skills (word- and text-reading fluency,…

Klimovich, Marina; Tiffin-Richards, Simon P.; Richter, Tobias – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: Commercial speed-reading training programs are typically marketed with the promise to dramatically increase reading speed without impairing comprehension. From the perspective of reading psychology, it seems quite unlikely that speed-reading training can indeed have such effects. However, research on the effectiveness of modern…
