Conrad, Nicole J.; Levy, Betty Ann – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2011
Although research has established that performance on a rapid automatized naming (RAN) task is related to reading, the nature of this relationship is unclear. Bowers (2001) proposed that processes underlying performance on the RAN task and orthographic knowledge make independent and additive contributions to reading performance. We examined the…

Johnson, Louanne – Instructor, 2011
Children are not born with a natural aversion to reading. Teachers see what happens when they introduce toddlers to books. They fall in love. They carry their favorites around and admire the pictures over and over again. Why, then, is reading such a problem for so many elementary and secondary students? What turns so many little book lovers into…

Hayes, Heather; Kessler, Brett; Treiman, Rebecca – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2011
The spellings of 39 profoundly deaf users of cochlear implants, aged 6 to 12 years, were compared with those of 39 hearing peers. When controlled for age and reading ability, the error rates of the 2 groups were not significantly different. Both groups evinced phonological spelling strategies, performing better on words with more typical…

Volpato, Chiara; Bencini, Giulia; Meneghello, Francesca; Piron, Lamberto; Semenza, Carlo – Brain and Language, 2012
This study describes the case of a global alexic patient with a severe reading deficit affecting words, letters and Arabic numbers, following a left posterior lesion. The patient (VA) could not match spoken letters to their graphic form. A preserved ability to recognize shape and canonical orientation of letters indicates intact access to the…

O'reilly, Tenaha; Sabatini, John; Bruce, Kelly; Pillarisetti, Srinivasa; McCormick, Carina – Reading Psychology, 2012
This article presents a prototype reading assessment designed to measure and support component and integrated reading skills. The work is motivated by the need to create a new generation of assessments that are better aligned with the research in cognitive science, reading and learning. An assessment that synthesizes advances in these areas may…

Katz, Leonard; Brancazio, Larry; Irwin, Julia; Katz, Stephen; Magnuson, James; Whalen, D. H. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2012
The lexical decision (LD) and naming (NAM) tasks are ubiquitous paradigms that employ printed word identification. They are major tools for investigating how factors like morphology, semantic information, lexical neighborhood and others affect identification. Although use of the tasks is widespread, there has been little research into how…

Scheithauer, Mindy C.; Tiger, Jeffrey H. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Instructors of the visually impaired need efficient braille-training methods. This study conducted a preliminary evaluation of a computer-based program intended to teach the relation between braille characters and English letters using a matching-to-sample format with 4 sighted college students. Each participant mastered matching visual depictions…

Cowden, Peter A. – Education, 2012
For many students with cognitive acquisition difficulties, cognitive notation is often challenging. Since the interpretation of symbols to extract the meaning from the visual notations is an essential part of a student's educational it is important for educators to find meaningful ways of achieving this goal. The purpose of this paper is to…

The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines are descriptions of what individuals can do with language in terms of speaking, writing, listening, and reading in real-world situations in a spontaneous and non-rehearsed context. For each skill, these guidelines identify five major levels of proficiency: Distinguished, Superior, Advanced, Intermediate, and…

Ghafournia, Narjes – English Language Teaching, 2014
The current study investigated the differences across the varying levels of EFL learners in the frequency and choice of learning strategies. Using a reading test, questionnaire, and parametric statistical analysis, the findings yielded up discrepancies among the participants in the implementation of language-learning strategies concerning their…

Van Lacum, Edwin B.; Ossevoort, Miriam A.; Goedhart, Martin J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
The aim of this study is to evaluate a teaching strategy designed to teach first-year undergraduate life sciences students at a research university how to learn to read authentic research articles. Our approach--based on the work done in the field of genre analysis and argumentation theory--means that we teach students to read research articles by…

Tan, Yah Hui; Poon, Kenneth K.; Rickard Liow, Susan J. – Early Child Development and Care, 2013
Research on the reading skills of monolingual children has established a convergent skills model for acquisition involving context-free decoding, language comprehension, and visual and phonological processing. This study sought to identify the predictors of Primary One bilingual children's reading accuracy and reading comprehension in English.…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Cho, Sun-Joo – Reading Research Quarterly, 2013
The current study uses a crossed random-effects item response model to simultaneously examine both reader and word characteristics and interactions between them that predict the reading of 39 morphologically complex words for 221 middle school students. Results suggest that a reader's ability to read a root word (e.g., "isolate") predicts that…
