This study examined whether children’s reading rate, comprehension, and recall are affected by computer presentation of text.
Participants were 60 grade five students, who each read two expository texts, one in a traditional print format and the other
from a computer monitor, which used a common scrolling text interface. After reading each text, participants were asked to
recall as much as they could from what they had read and then answered questions that measured text recall and comprehension.
Children took more time to read the passage and recalled more of the text material that they had read from the computer monitor.
The benefit of computer presentation disappeared when efficiency variables, which take time into account, were examined. Children
were, however, more efficient at comprehending text when reading from paper. The results suggest that children may take more
time to read text on computer screens and that they are more efficient when reading text on paper. 相似文献

The prereading and reading performance of a group of 370 predominantly Hispanic, bilingual public school children was followed
for six years. The aim of the study was to compare the factorial make-up and predictive validity of tests used in the current
research with findings from a previous study. The early study had followed the children from the end of their kindergarten
year until the end of second grade. For purposes of the present study a 13-test predictor battery was administered to the
children at the beginning of their first-grade year. This battery included a number of measures used in the early study, among
them a 5-test Screening Index developed in the course of that study. Records were obtained of the follow-up children’s 2nd,
3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade reading test scores. Factor analysis of the pool of 13 predictor tests showed a two-cluster battery
structure. These clusters closely resembled two of the four factors defined in the early study. As used with the group of
bilingual children, the Screening Index misclassified many of the failing readers, as well as others who went ahead to read
at grade level. The Screening Index quite accurately identified, across grades, children who eventually read well. A number
of predictor tests administered at beginning of first grade continued to show significant correlations with reading at all
grade levels. The consistent contribution of the predictor tests with reading points to their continuing usefulness as a point
of departure for assessing children’s readiness to read.
The investigation was conducted by the staff of the de Hirsch-Robinson Reading Clinic, Department of Pediatric Psychiatry,
Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, and the New York State Psychiatric Institute.
The work has been supported by generous grants from a number of private donors, among them The Beinecke Foundation, The Morgan

We investigated whether the layout of type in two popular children’s reading schemes was suitable for the intended reading age. 120 children read four passages of text that adopted the typography of four reading stages in each of the two schemes. The size and spacing of the texts decreased with successive stages as the intended reading age increased. The reading speed of children aged 5 to 7 years decreased as the text size decreased: in particular, these children read fastest the text designed for 5 and 6 year olds. Older children aged 8 to 11 years were neither assisted nor disadvantaged by text size. Children of all ages, particularly those susceptible to visual stress, were found to make more errors on the smaller than on the larger text. We conclude that the reading development of some children might benefit from a larger text size and spacing than is currently the norm, and that no children would be disadvantaged by such a change. 相似文献

Parent coaching strategies during shared book reading were analysed according to the principles of scaffolding in a sample of 46 parent-child dyads during the latter half of grade one. The ways that parents responded to each of a child's oral reading errors or miscues were coded into levels of assistance that reflected increasing support at each successive level. In addition children's attempts at rereading miscued words were coded as successful or not. Parents often provided a string of feedback clues and analyses revealed that the level of support parents provided shifted up or increased when their child was unsuccessful in rereading a word after feedback. With increasing level of parental support children's success in rereading misread words increased. Moreover, children with weaker word recognition skill were offered feedback at higher levels of support by their parents. These results demonstrate how parents and children co-construct the feedback that parents provide when listening to their children read and the sensitivity on the part of parents to children's reading performance. 相似文献

Speech problems and reading disorders are linked, suggesting that speech problems may potentially be an early marker of later
difficulty in associating graphemes with phonemes. Current norms suggest that complete mastery of the production of the consonant
phonemes in English occurs in most children at around 6–7 years. Many children enter formal schooling (kindergarten) around
5 years of age with near-adult levels of speech production. Given that previous research has shown that speech production
abilities and phonological awareness skills are linked in preschool children, we set out to examine whether this pattern also
holds for children just beginning to learn to read, as suggested by the critical age hypothesis. In the present study, using a diverse sample, we explored whether expressive phonological skills in 92 5-year-old children
at the beginning and end of kindergarten were associated with early reading skills. Speech errors were coded according to
whether they were developmentally appropriate, position within the syllable, manner of production of the target sounds, and
whether the error involved a substitution, omission, or addition of a speech sound. At the beginning of the school year, children
with significant early reading deficits on a predictively normed test (DIBELS) made more speech errors than children who were
at grade level. Most of these errors were typical of kindergarten children (e.g., substitutions involving fricatives), but
reading-delayed children made more of these errors than children who entered kindergarten with grade level skills. The reading-delayed
children also made more atypical errors, consistent with our previous findings about preschoolers. Children who made no speech
errors at the beginning of kindergarten had superior early reading abilities, and improvements in speech errors over the course
of the year were significantly correlated with year-end reading skills. The role of expressive vocabulary and working memory
were also explored, and appear to account for some of these findings. 相似文献

This study examined the ability to infer the meaning of novel made-up words that appeared in 16 short narrative texts, presented in two modalities—reading and listening. Hebrew-speaking 4th grade students (N = 54) were asked to infer the meanings of the made-up words in both modality conditions. In this cross-group design, students were randomly assigned to one of two order conditions: reading first or listening first. Regardless of condition, participants were better able to infer the meaning of the made-up words in the listening condition than in the reading condition. Individual differences in word reading, vocabulary, and reading comprehension mediated novel word learning but working memory did not. Results are discussed in relation to the challenges faced by 4th grade Hebrew readers in the transition from reading a fully pointed (vowelized) shallow orthography to an unpointed, deep orthography. The ability of 4th grade readers to infer novel words appears to be enhanced when listening to animated narration, and is mediated by extant vocabulary knowledge and higher-order comprehension processes, but also by basic decoding skills. 相似文献

Disparities in language competencies of children with and without immigrant background are well-documented through large scale assessments. This study investigates the potential of implicit language promotion, presented in written and combined auditory-written formats. Three experimental groups of 4th graders in elementary schools have been compared. Intervention group (IV) 1 (n?=?33) read the intervention texts two times in German, IV 2 (n?=?52) read texts in their heritage language Turkish and afterwards in German, and IV 3 (n?=?35) listened to texts in Turkish first and read them in German afterwards. All children learned new vocabulary, but analyses of variance showed that students from IV 2 achieved greater vocabulary gains than IV 3. Results also do not support advantages for the combined auditory-written form including the heritage language. Students’ text comprehension and reading competencies influence their incidental vocabulary acquisition. The results are discussed in the light of practical and research implications. 相似文献

Eight leading basal reading programs, approved for adoption in California public schools in 1983, were analyzed to determine
the array of the types of writing included in the program from preprimers to second grade readers. The Teacher’s Manuals were
examined to determine whether provision was included for teaching children how to read a wide variety of discourse types.
A third investigation was undertaken in this study to determine the array of discourse types in standardized reading tests
and assessment tests included in the basal program.
Data indicated that the majority of selections in all of the readers were narrative materials (56%), poems accounted for 25%
of the total selections, and exposition accounted for 15% of the total selections. A second analysis of page allocation indicated
narrative writings accounted for more than 80% of the total page allocation. Few differences by grade level or by individual
programs were found.
The Teacher’s Manual of each of these programs provided instruction for teaching children how to read various types of writing.
Suggestions for reading narrative writing constituted the greatest percentage.
An analysis of discourse types in standardized tests indicated two discrepancies between reading programs and standardized
tests: (1) few “whole” texts were included in tests before the end of second grade; and (2) most texts were narrative. The
analysis of the assessment tests within each of the programs indicated narrative materials were most often used for testing
and poetry was not assessed in any program.

Sixty-five Norwegian 10th graders used the software Read&Answer 2.0 (Vidal-Abarca et al., 2011) to read five different texts presenting conflicting views on the controversial scientific issue of sun exposure and health. Participants were administered a multiple-choice topic-knowledge measure before and after reading, a word recognition task, and a reading motivation inventory that included two dimensions: Science reading self-efficacy, focusing on readers’ beliefs about their capabilities to comprehend what they read in science, and science reading task value, focusing on readers’ beliefs about how important, useful, and interesting it is to comprehend science texts. In addition, strategic reading pattern was assessed in terms of the degree of non-linear reading behavior. Multiple regression analysis showed that word recognition skills strongly predicted learning from the texts, as assessed by participants’ increase in topic knowledge. However, when multiple-text comprehension indicated by performance on open-ended short-essay questions was the dependent variable, not only word recognition but also strategic reading pattern and science reading self-efficacy emerged as unique predictors when topic knowledge was controlled for. Science reading task value was not related to performance. This study provides new evidence that new literacy competencies needed in a knowledge society, such as synthesizing or integrating across multiple conflicting sources of information, still largely involve word-level, strategic, and motivational processes that may profitably be targeted through systematic instruction. 相似文献

Prior research has demonstrated that linguistic skills and knowledge contribute to successful reading acquisition. In contrast, little is known about the influence of domain‐general learning abilities on reading. To investigate associations between general memory functions and reading during the early stages of learning to read, performance measures of word‐level reading and of declarative and procedural learning were obtained in a cohort of 140 children, annually during their first 4 years of school. We hypothesized that differences in learning task performance would relate to reading ability in the early years, when children are first learning to read. We employed a series of linear mixed effects models to test the relationships between learning abilities and reading across time. Declarative learning performance predicted reading ability in first grade, while procedural learning performance predicted reading ability in second grade. Our findings suggest that reading acquisition may depend in part on general capacities for learning. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the directionality of the relationship between text reading prosody and reading comprehension in the upper grades of primary school. We compared 3 theoretical possibilities: Two unidirectional relations from text reading prosody to reading comprehension and from reading comprehension to text reading prosody and a bidirectional relation between text reading prosody and reading comprehension. Further, we controlled for autoregressive effects and included decoding efficiency as a measure of general reading skill. Participants were 99 Dutch children, followed longitudinally, from 4th to 6th grade. Structural equation modeling showed that the bidirectional relation provided the best fitting model. In 5th grade, text reading prosody was related to prior decoding and reading comprehension, whereas in 6th grade, reading comprehension was related to prior text reading prosody. As such, the results suggest that the relation between text reading prosody and reading comprehension is reciprocal but dependent on grade level. 相似文献

Recent research has shown that many people with dyslexia find it unusually difficult to detect flickering or moving visual
stimuli, consistent with impaired processing in the magnocellular visual stream. Nonetheless, it remains controversial to
suggest that reduced visual sensitivity of this kind might affect reading. We first show that the accuracy of letter position
encoding may depend on input from the magnocellular pathway. We then suggest that when children read, impaired magnocellular
function may degrade information about where letters are positioned with respect to each other, leading to reading errors
which contain sounds not represented in the printed word. We call these orthographically inconsistent nonsense errors letter
errors. In an unselected sample of primary school children, we show that the probability of children making “letter” errors
in a single word reading task was best explained by independent contributions from motion detection (magnocellular function)
and phonological awareness (assessed by a spoonerism task). This result held even when controlling for chronological age,
reading ability, and IQ. Together, these findings suggest that impaired magnocellular visual function, as well as phonological
deficits, may affect reading. 相似文献

This study was to investigate Chinese children's eye patterns while reading different text genres from a developmental perspective. Eye movements were recorded while children in the second through sixth grades read two expository texts and two narrative texts. Across passages, overall word frequency was not significantly different between the two genres. Results showed that all children had longer fixation durations for low‐frequency words. They also had longer fixation durations on content words. These results indicate that children adopted a word‐based processing strategy like skilled readers do. However, only older children's rereading times were affected by genre. Overall, eye‐movement patterns of older children reported in this study are in accordance with those of skilled Chinese readers, but younger children are more likely to be responsive to word characteristics than text level when reading a Chinese text. 相似文献

This paper describes two tests designed to find out whether children would be helped in their reading by the use of word and letter spacing that was looser or tighter than commonly used default values. In each test, 24 six‐year‐old children were asked to read aloud in a classroom; the realistic, high‐quality test material was set using a range of either word spacing or letter spacing values. Audiotapes of the children's reading were analysed to determine reading rates; miscue analysis was used to compare the number and kind of errors they made on the different settings. The children were also asked for their views about the texts they read. The results suggest that children in the test groups did not benefit significantly from spacing that was substantially looser or tighter than our default values, and that they noticed differences in letter spacing more easily than differences in word spacing. 相似文献

Albanian is an Indo-European language with a shallow orthography, in which there is an absolute correspondence between graphemes and phonemes. We aimed to know reading strategies used by Albanian disabled children during word and pseudoword reading. A pool of 114 Kosovar reading disabled children matched with 150 normal readers aged 6 to 11?years old were tested. They had to read 120 stimuli varied in lexicality, frequency, and length. The results in terms of reading accuracy as well as in reading times show that both groups were affected by lexicality and length effects. In both groups, length and lexicality effects were significantly modulated by school year being greater in early grades and later diminish in length and just the opposite in lexicality. However, the reading difficulties group was less accurate and slower than the control group across all school grades. Analyses of the error patterns showed that phonological errors, when the letter replacement leading to new nonwords, are the most common error type in both groups, although as grade rises, visual errors and lexicalizations increased more in the control group than the reading difficulties group. These findings suggest that Albanian normal children use both routes (lexical and sublexical) from the beginning of reading despite of the complete regularity of Albanian, while children with reading difficulties start using sublexical reading and the lexical reading takes more time to acquire, but finally both routes are functional. 相似文献

Preschoolers’ (n?=?32) attention to print and pictures was documented during an electronic storybook reading session. Children (M?=?51.06 months; SD?=?7.34 months) looked at a 12-page book that contained three types of pages, each of which was presented four times over the course of the book: (1) silent presentation of print, (2) print that was read aloud, and (3) print that was both read aloud and highlighted. Our research objectives were to analyze whether the way in which print was presented related to the ways in which children attended to print and pictures during the reading session. Gaze fixation duration to print and pictures was assessed using a Tobii X2-60 portable eye tracking unit, which captured corneal reflection data for each child. Children’s total fixation duration to print was greatest when print was read aloud and highlighted as compared to when it was presented silently or read aloud. In addition, children looked at print more when it was displayed silently than when the computer read the story to children, although this difference was much smaller in magnitude. Children attended to pictures more than print across pages, but this difference was most notable when the story was read aloud. Results demonstrate the potential utility of nonverbal print referencing strategies during book reading. 相似文献

Misconceptions about science are often not corrected during study when they are held with high confidence. However, when corrective feedback co-activates a misconception together with the correct conception, this feedback may surprise the learner and draw attention, especially when the misconceptions are held with high confidence. Therefore, high-confidence misconceptions might be more likely to be corrected than low-confidence misconceptions. The present study investigates whether this hypercorrection effect occurs when students read science texts. Effects of two text formats were compared: Standard texts that presented factual information, and refutation texts that explicitly addressed misconceptions and refuted them before presenting factual information. Eighth grade adolescents (N = 114) took a pre-reading test that included 16 common misconceptions about science concepts, rated their confidence in correctness of their response to the pre-reading questions, read 16 texts about the science concepts, and finally took a post-test which included both true/false and open-ended test questions. Analyses of post-test responses show that reading refutation texts causes hypercorrection: Learners more often corrected high-confidence misconceptions after reading refutation texts than after reading standard texts, whereas low-confidence misconceptions did not benefit from reading refutation texts. These outcomes suggest that people are more surprised when they find out a confidently held misconception is incorrect, which may encourage them to pay more attention to the feedback and the refutation. Moreover, correction of high-confidence misconceptions was more apparent on the true/false test responses than on the open-ended test, suggesting that additional interventions may be needed to improve learners' accommodation of the correct information. 相似文献

Roots and patterns in Hebrew language development: evidence from written morphological analogies 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Morphology is one of the organizing principles of the mental lexicon. It is especially important in Hebrew, where word structure expresses a rich array of semantic notions. This study investigated the ability of Hebrew-speaking children to solve written morphological analogies by reading and completing two sets of real and invented root- and pattern-related nouns using a closed set of responses. In the first experiment, 152 gradeschoolers (2nd–6th grade) were administered an analogy task with real words, where they had to read written stimuli and elicit root and pattern components from them. In the second experiment, 148 gradeschoolers were administered a similar reading task with pseudowords. In both experiments, the results clearly indicate an early and robust ability of Hebrew-speaking children to perform morphological analogies using both roots and patterns. Most errors involved the root morpheme rather than the pattern morpheme, but pseudowords elicited more pattern errors. These results are discussed in view of models of morphological processing and morpho-lexical development in Hebrew. 相似文献
