Gifted/Average Readers: Do They Use the Same Reading Strategies?

Fehrenbach, Carolyn R.

Gifted Child Quarterly, v35 n3 p125-27 Sum 1991

This study of 30 gifted and 30 average secondary level readers assessed their reading processing strategies using think-aloud protocols. Gifted readers used such strategies as rereading, inferring, evaluating, predicting, and relating to content area, whereas average readers exhibited word pronouncing concern and inaccurate summarizing.
