Clariana, Roy B. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
A learner's reading ability may be an important variable in the individualization of computer-assisted instruction. Results of a study of 101 students in grades 4 through 8 indicate that computer-mediated CLOZE reading tests adequately account for a student's reading ability and may be used prescriptively for the individualization of instruction.…

Goolsby, Thomas M., Jr. – 1969
Specialists in child development have recommended that children be "read to" at an early age. Many children are read to, and some have been read to a great deal. However, much more is to be desired for some groups of the population and for some individuals. In recognition of the needs of these children this Curriculum in Listening Achievement was…
