Krawitz, Janina; Chang, Yu-Ping; Yang, Kai-Lin; Schukajlow, Stanislaw – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
To solve mathematical modelling problems, students must translate real-world situations, which are typically presented in text form, into mathematical models. To complete the translation process, the problem-solver must first understand the real-world situation. Therefore, reading comprehension can be considered an essential part of solving…

The Impact of a Strategy-Based Intervention on the Comprehension and Strategy Use of Struggling Adolescent Readers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cantrell, Susan Chambers; Almasi, Janice F.; Carter, Janis C.; Rintamaa, Margaret; Madden, Angela – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2010
This study examines the impact of the Learning Strategies Curriculum (LSC), an adolescent reading intervention program, on 6th- and 9th-grade students' reading comprehension and strategy use. Using a randomized treatment-control group design, the study compared student outcomes for these constructs for 365 students who received daily instruction…
