Bilingual Research Journal, v35 n3 p331-349 2012
This research work examined the impact of a science-reading instructional sequence ("InSciRead") on fourth-grade Spanish-English dual language learners' ability to monitor their comprehension of content-related (erosion, deposition, and transportation) texts. We used a quantitative measure of students' ability to detect incongruities in a related text, complemented with a qualitative analysis of the data. The study included 78 fourth-grade students (including eight with disabilities). The curriculum was generally successful, with significant progress shown in students' ability to monitor their comprehension after the intervention. (Contains 2 tables.)
