Download or read book The Effects of Teaching Text Structures Through Social Studies Content on Second Graders Expository Reading Comprehension written by Rebecca A. Reichhart and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of explicitly teaching expository text structure on second graders' social studies reading comprehension. Participants were 18 second graders from a small Midwestern town. All students were part of the same treatment group. The researcher instructed students on how to identify and comprehend compare/contrast and cause/effect expository text structure. The instruction for the text structures occurred for three weeks each for a total of a six week study. The researcher instructed students with modeling, guided practice and independent practice through the use of graphic organizers. Findings suggested very little effect of treatment. Several strengths and limitations of the study are discussed, as well as implications for future research.

Download or read book Expository Discourse in Children Adolescents and Adults written by Marilyn A. Nippold and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School success in the 21st century requires proficiency with expository discourse -- the use and understanding of informative language in spoken and written modalities. This occurs, for example, when high school students read their textbooks and listen to their teachers' lectures, and later are asked to demonstrate their knowledge of this complex topic through oral reports and essay examinations. Although many students are proficient with the expository genre, others struggle to meet these expectations. This book is designed to provide information on the use and understanding of expository discourse in school-age children, adolescents, and young adults. Recently, researchers from around the world have been investigating the development of this genre in typical students and in those with language disorders. Although many books have addressed the development of conversational and narrative discourse, by comparison, books devoted to the topic of expository discourse are sparse. This crossdisciplinary volume fills that gap in the literature and makes a unique contribution to the study of language development and disorders. It will be of interest to a range of professionals, including speech-language pathologists, teachers, linguists, and psychologists who are concerned with language development and disorders.

Download or read book The Effects of Structure Strategy Training on the Recall of Expository Prose for University Students Reading French as a Second Language written by Patricia M. Raymond and published by Centre international de recherche en aménagement linguistique = International Center for Research on Language Planning. This book was released on 1993 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study investigated whether adult anglophone readers of French could be taught to use the organizational patterns (top-level structures, or TLSs) in expository text and whether they could then use this knowledge (the structure strategy) to facilitate reading comprehension as measured quantitatively through immediate free recall. Subjects were 43 university students of high intermediate level French proficiency divided into experimental (n=21) and control (n=22) groups. The experimental group received training in the use of five TLSs: description; sequence; causation; problem solution; and comparison. Training concentrated on use of the TLSs and their corresponding signal words as strategy for promoting recall. All subjects were pre- and posttested for reading comprehension and recall. Subjects also completed rating scales to estimate text difficulty, memorability, affect, interest, background knowledge, clarity of argument, organization, recommendations, content, and discussion of content. Results indicate that: text topic was a significant factor in recall, suggesting that effects of training in structure strategy cannot be predicted across topics; more proficient readers appeared to have the structure strategy already, and those trained in it had improved recall; structure strategy is teachable; reading time was not significantly related to recall; and longer passages seemed to offer no disadvantages.

Download or read book Understanding Expository Text written by Bruce K. Britton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1985, the various chapters in this volume give examples of research on all three aspects of text understanding – namely, structure, world knowledge and process. More than this, however, the research described represents a shift in emphasis from studying stories, which dominated the field in the late 1970s, to studying expository text. This focus on stories was probably due to the essential first step in any science of examining the simplest materials possible. However, the editors thought that it was time to shift the research focus from stories to expository text and this volume is their attempt to provide this transition.
