The Influence of Variations in Syntax on Oral Reading Fluency.
Cooper, Barbara A.; Stewart, Krista J.
Journal of Reading Behavior, v19 n2 p159-75 1987
Examines the effect of variations in syntactic structure (noun and participle, or verb phrase of a subject-verb-object clause) on oral reading of fourth graders and college students. Finds that children experienced many disruptions while reading the less common noun and participle structure, and that adults experienced few disruptions. (RS)
