Reading Growth in High-Poverty Classrooms: The Influence of Teacher Practices that Encourage Cognitive Engagement in Literacy Learning.
Taylor, Barbara M.; Pearson, P. David; Peterson, Debra S.; Rodriguez, Michael C.
Elementary School Journal, v104 n1 p3-28 Sep 2003
Effects of reading instruction maximizing students' cognitive engagement on Grade 1 to 5 reading achievement were examined over a school year for students in 9 high-poverty schools. Hierarchical linear modeling showed that several teaching variables explained substantial variation in reading achievement growth. The most consistent finding was that teachers who emphasized higher-order thinking either through questions they asked or tasks they assigned promoted greater reading growth among target students.
