Brown, Lisa Trottier; Mohr, Kathleen A. J.; Wilcox, Bradley R.; Barrett, Tyson S. – Journal of Educational Research, 2018
This study replicated, with modifications, previous research of dyad reading using texts at various levels of difficulty (Morgan, 1997). The current project measured the effects of using above-grade-level texts on reading achievement and sought to determine the influences of dyad reading on both lead and assisted readers. Results indicate that…
