D'Angelo, Karen – 1979
A study examined the effect on speed and comprehension performance of one silent rereading following an initial silent reading. Each of 17 fourth grade students silently read two 500-word selections, which were written at the third grade level, and then responded orally to 20 literal and above-literal questions based on the materials. The silent…

Hoover, Todd – 1977
In order to analyze the reading and comprehension of college students using a computer video terminal (CRT), a computer program was designed to present text material, time the performance, and compute the rate of reading for each of 118 subjects. Specifically, the program sought to determine if reading and comprehension are affected by the CRT…

KOEHLER, WARREN B. – 1960
EFFORTS TO LEARN HOW THE ARRANGEMENTS OF THE PRINTED TEXT AFFECTS READING EFFICIENCY WERE SUMMARIZED. SEVERAL ASSUMPTIONS WERE BASIC. FIRST, ONE OF THE PURPOSES IS DEFINED AS INVESTIGATION OF ANY IDEA WHICH MIGHT LEAD TO RAISING THE EDUCATIONAL LEVEL. SECOND, IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE DISCOVERY OF A MEANS OF RAISING THE LEVEL OF READING COMPREHENSION…

"A Psychological Study of Flexibility in Reading," the first in this collection of four articles, attempted to determine how flexibility in reading develops from elementary to junior high school. The results indicated that children in every grade in this experiment were flexible in reading, that is, they changed their speed of reading…

Biemiller, Andrew – 1973
The development of oral reading speed in the early elementary years and an examination of some underlying abilities that may be involved in individual differences in reading speed and ability are the concerns of this study. Cross-sectional and longitudinal data relating the time required to read orally 50 unrelated letters, 50 unrelated words, and…

Calfee, Robert C.; Jameson, Penny – 1971
The effect on reading speed of the number of target items being searched for and the number of target occurrences in the text was examined. The subjects, 24 college undergraduate volunteers, were presented with a list of target words, and then they read a passage for comprehension which contained occurrences of the target words (Experiment1) or…

Berger, Allen – 1972
The latest thinking on reading rate and flexibility is discussed in this paper. Included are highlights of the recently completed reading rate portion of the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The current state of knowledge is assessed and promising research and useful writings in English and Spanish are cited. (Author/WR) Aspect of…

Peer reviewedSalasoo, Aita – Reading Research Quarterly, 1986
Reading rates and comprehension measures that probed recognition of various levels of text structure were collected for passages read orally and silently by 16 college students. Results showed that memory traces of text microstructure created in oral reading were accessed faster during memory-based comprehension tasks than traces established by…

Dwyer, Edward J.; West, Russell F. – 1994
A study investigated whether sustained silent reading encourages college students to increase their reading rate. Subjects were 76 education majors or students otherwise interested in teaching who were enrolled in an undergraduate course in teaching reading/language arts in a university in the southeastern United States. Subjects recorded their…

Peer reviewedO'Shea, Lawrence J.; Sindelar, Paul T. – Reading Research Quarterly, 1983
Indicates that segmenting sentences into meaningful units improves reading comprehension through simplifying the syntax of complex sentences and cueing the reader as to the relationship among intrasentence phrases. (AEA)

Peer reviewedStanovich, Keith E.; And Others – Journal of Reading Behavior, 1981
Two experiments suggest that a sharp increase in reading automaticity occurs during the first grade, but that by the end of the year the development of automaticity begins to level off. (HOD)

Peer reviewedMackey, Margaret – Research in the Teaching of English, 1997
Describes one element of the reading act as it operates in time--how "good-enough" readers of complex fiction strike a personal balance between the need for momentum and the need for accountability to the text. Draws from protocols provided by 33 readers, from eighth grade to Ph.D. level, following two readings of a novel. (PA)

Peer reviewedSabatini, John P. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2002
Addresses the question of the role of general speed/rate of processing in reading impairment in adults. Compares 95 adults varying in word-recognition ability. Shows significant and pervasive speed/rate differences among groups, as well as differences in accuracy performance. (SG)
