An Examination of Differences in Linguistic and Meta-Linguistic Skills in English (FL) and Hebrew (L1): English Intervention Program for Dyslexic, Poor and Normal Readers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Feder, Liat; Abu-Rabia, Salim – Journal of Educational Research, 2020
This research examined differences between dyslexic, poor and normal readers who learn in the same educational framework, across various linguistic and meta-linguistic skills in Hebrew as the first language (L1) and English as a foreign language (FL), following an intervention program focusing on English linguistic skills. The participants…

How Working Memory Relates to Children's Reading Comprehension: The Importance of Domain-Specificity in Storage and Processing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nouwens, Suzan; Groen, Margriet A.; Verhoeven, Ludo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2017
Working memory is considered a well-established predictor of individual variation in reading comprehension in children and adults. However, how storage and processing capacities of working memory in both the phonological and semantic domain relate to reading comprehension is still unclear. In the current study, we investigated the contribution of…

The Relationship among Oral Language, Decoding Skills, and Reading Comprehension in Children with Autism
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cronin, Kathleen A. – Exceptionality, 2014
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among oral language, decoding, and reading comprehension for children with autism. Participants included 13 English-speaking children with a diagnosis of high-functioning autism (IQ > 70) who were included in a typical classroom, and who had parents who spoke English. Parts of the…

Semantic and Phonological Ability to Adjust Recoding: A Unique Correlate of Word Reading Skill?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kearns, Devin M.; Rogers, H. Jane; Koriakin, Taylor; Al Ghanem, Reem – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2016
This study addresses whether reading involves a process termed semantic and phonological ability to adjust recoding (SPAAR). It was hypothesized that SPAAR helps readers link inaccurate pronunciations to lexical entries (e.g., "spynitch" to "spinach"). Psychometric properties of the Mispronunciation Correction Task (MCT), a…

Differential Lexical Predictors of Reading Comprehension in Fourth Graders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Swart, Nicole M.; Muijselaar, Marloes M. L.; Steenbeek-Planting, Esther G.; Droop, Mienke; de Jong, Peter F.; Verhoeven, L. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2017
The mental lexicon plays a central role in reading comprehension (Perfetti & Stafura, 2014). It encompasses the number of lexical entries in spoken and written language (vocabulary breadth), the semantic quality of these entries (vocabulary depth), and the connection strength between lexical representations (semantic relatedness); as such, it…

Examining the Relationship between Word Reading Efficiency and Oral Reading Rate in Predicting Comprehension among Different Types of Readers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Eason, Sarah H.; Sabatini, John; Goldberg, Lindsay; Bruce, Kelly; Cutting, Laurie E. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2013
To further explore contextual reading rate, an important aspect of reading fluency, we examined the relationship between word reading efficiency (WRE) and contextual oral reading rate (ORR), the degree to which they overlap across different comprehension measures, whether oral language (semantics and syntax) predicts ORR beyond contributions of…
