Papadimitriou, Vassilios; Argyropoulos, Vassilios – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: The main objective of the present study was to examine the effect of word length, word frequency and number of syllables on graphemic errors during a text-reading task via the braille code. Method: Thirty students with severe visual impairments participated in the present study. They were invited individually to read aloud a number of…

Tremblay, Kathryn A.; Binder, Katherine S.; Ardoin, Scott P.; Talwar, Amani; Tighe, Elizabeth L. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: Of the myriad of reading comprehension (RC) assessments used in schools, multiple-choice (MC) questions continue to be one of the most prevalent formats used by educators and researchers. Outcomes from RC assessments dictate many critical factors encountered during a student's academic career, and it is crucial that we gain a deeper…

McGee, Lea M.; Kim, Hwewon; Nelson, Kathryn S.; Fried, Mary D. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2015
In this study, we describe young students' actions at point of difficulty in reading and examine changes in their strategic use of sources of information. We examined errors from running records of first graders who entered Reading Recovery (RR) in the fall and ended the year reading at the first-grade level compared with RR first graders who did…

Protopapas, Athanassios; Gerakaki, Svetlana – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2009
In Greek orthography, stress position is marked with a diacritic. We investigated the developmental course of processing the stress diacritic in Grades 2 to 4. Ninety children read 108 pseudowords presented without or with a diacritic either in the same or in a different position relative to the source word. Half of the pseudowords resembled the…

Jorm, A. F. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1977
This experiment attempted to discover under what circumstances, if any, children use whole words, syllables, letter clusters, or letters as units during reading. The results indicated that syllables and letter clusters are probably not processed as units for any type of word, but there was slight evidence that letters may function as units,…
