Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical book grows out of a recent report written by the RAND Reading Study Group (RRSG), which proposed a national research agenda in the area of reading comprehension. Here, RRSG members have expanded on their findings and translated them into clear recommendations to inform practice. Teachers gain the latest knowledge about how students learn to comprehend texts and what can be done to improve the quality of instruction in this essential domain. From leading literacy scholars, the book explains research-based ways to: *Plan effective instruction for students at all grade levels *Meet the comprehension needs of English-language learners *Promote adolescents' comprehension of subject-area texts *Understand the complexities of comprehension assessment *Get optimal benefits from instructional technologies *And much more!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the foundation set in Volume I—a landmark synthesis of research in the field—Volume II is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art new volume highlighting new and emerging research perspectives. The contributors, all experts in their research areas, represent the international and gender diversity in the science education research community. The volume is organized around six themes: theory and methods of science education research; science learning; culture, gender, and society and science learning; science teaching; curriculum and assessment in science; science teacher education. Each chapter presents an integrative review of the research on the topic it addresses—pulling together the existing research, working to understand the historical trends and patterns in that body of scholarship, describing how the issue is conceptualized within the literature, how methods and theories have shaped the outcomes of the research, and where the strengths, weaknesses, and gaps are in the literature. Providing guidance to science education faculty and graduate students and leading to new insights and directions for future research, the Handbook of Research on Science Education, Volume II is an essential resource for the entire science education community.

This book was released on 2024-03-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic is the second edition of Fluency and reading comprehension in typical readers and dyslexics readers: Volume I This Second Edition Research Topic is focused on the characterization of the reading-writing difficulties and their comorbidities and in the analysis of evidence-based recommendations for early interventions and treatment of these difficulties within the fields of neuropsychology, speech-language pathology, and educational psychology. Reading involves decoding and comprehension components, and to become efficient it requires a large number of cognitive and linguistic processes. Among those, decoding failures can have different origins, such as deficits in phonological and/or visual processing. In addition, a child with reading difficulties might also have problems in the acquisition of writing and handwriting performance. This is an important point to be discussed, as reading and writing both suffer interference from vocabulary acquisition, linguistic skills, memory skills, reading and writing practices, and literacy methods. These processes become important only when the professional needs to deal with students presenting learning difficulties. Difficulty in using the knowledge of conversion rules between grapheme-phoneme to word reading construction or phoneme-grapheme for writing can be identified in schoolchildren with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dysortography, being a specific learning disorder with a neurological etiology. In addition, there is established evidence of a speech-language processing basis, students with specific learning disabilities can show a range of cognitive difficulties (e.g., rapid naming, executive functioning, working memory). These presented difficulties interfere in their learning process, impairing their learning development.

Download or read book The Effects of Readers Theatre on Fluency and Comprehension on Fifth Grade Students in Regular Classrooms written by Lila Ubert Carrick and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the effects of Readers Theatre as a teaching strategy to promote reading ability. Readers Theatre, paired repeated reading, and the traditional method of using basal reading textbook were examined to determine their effectiveness in improving reading rate, reading word accuracy, and reading comprehension. Reading rate was calculated by multiplying number of words in the passage by 60 and divided by the number of seconds it took to read the passage. Reading accuracy was calculated by subtracting the number of miscues from the number of words in the passage. The Terra Nova Reading Test, Level 15 was used to measure comprehension. Test results were analyzed using ANCOVA with the pretest serving as the covariate. Post-hoc analysis techniques (Scheffe) were used to further examine any statistically significant main effect. A total of 179 fifth grade students involved in the project comprised ten classrooms from four different schools within the same school district. This urban, special-needs district, in which the majority of the students are considered educationally at risk, is located in central New Jersey. The procedure for this quasi-experimental study followed a pretest, intervention (12 weeks), posttest schedule. A total of 47 students formed the control group (traditional method), 76 students formed the quasi-control group (paired repeated reading), and 56 students formed the experimental group (Readers Theatre). The results of the ANCOVA showed a significant overall difference among the groups in reading rate. Further analysis using the Scheffe revealed that the experimental group (RT) outperformed both the quasi-control group (PR) and control group (TM). Additionally, the results of the ANCOVA showed a significant overall difference among the groups in word accuracy. Further analysis using the Scheffe revealed that the experimental group (RT) outperformed the control group (TM). The results of the ANCOVA showed no significant difference among the groups in reading comprehension. These results suggest that Readers Theatre does improve fluency, particularly oral reading rate and word accuracy. These gains are most likely attributed to developing automaticity, using prosodic cueing, and dramatically interacting with the text.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools in the United States have been using the Accelerated Reader (AR) program since the mid-1980s. A search of the literature related to the effectiveness of the AR program revealed that many of the studies were conducted more than a decade ago, and a large number of those studies failed to utilize a control group to provide comparative data. Researchers and educators have examined the use of the AR program, whose parent company is Renaissance Learning, for more than 20 years, yet there is still little definitive data on whether the system positively affects student reading comprehension and motivation to read. This causal-comparative design, in the form of an ex post facto study, examined two groups of fifth-grade students to determine if the addition of AR showed statistically significant effects on their reading comprehension. Data were gathered from both an experimental and a control group; the control group utilized the school system's literacy plan for reading instruction, while the experimental group utilized the literacy plan along with mandatory use of AR. Independent t-tests were used to determine if the treatment (AR) had any effect on reading comprehension by group or by gender. The results from the independent t-tests showed no statistically significant effect for reading method by group and no statistically significant effect for gender by group.
