Enhancing Reading Comprehension through the Use of a Self-Instructional Package.

Smith, Alistair M.; VanBiervliet, Alan

Education and Treatment of Children, v9 n1 p40-55 Feb 1986

Three 11-year-olds with difficulties in reading comprehension received self-instructional training along with task worksheets and stories. Compared to control children, the experimental students achieved increased accuracy on classroom comprehension questions, and the increase was maintained during a subsequent self-management phase.
