The simple view of reading hypothesises that reading comprehension is predicted by decoding and language abilities. In this study, 257 fifth‐grade English‐language learners (Ells) in south‐central India were assessed on reading and language measures. Using a model of the simple view, we fit the data using path analysis to determine the extent to which it predicts reading comprehension. Results show that the effect of listening vocabulary on reading comprehension is mediated by listening comprehension, while the effect of word reading fluency on reading comprehension is mediated by passage reading fluency. The final path model explains 33.8% of the variance in reading comprehension. Results are discussed in relation to previous studies. 相似文献

This longitudinal investigation examined word decoding and reading comprehension measures from first grade through sixth grade
for a sample of Spanish-speaking English language learners (ELLs). The sample included 261 children (average age of 7.2 years;
120 boys; 141 girls) at the initial data collection in first grade. The ELLs’ word decoding and reading comprehension scores
showed quadratic growth over the course of the study. The sample’s reading comprehension, but not their word decoding, began
to fall behind the normative sample starting in the third grade. Phonological awareness, rapid automatic naming (RAN), and
oral language measures were used as predictors and correlated with growth rates in a manner consistent with past research. 相似文献

Empirical research has provided evidence for the simple view of reading across a variety of orthographies, but the role of oral reading fluency in the model is unclear. Moreover, the relative weight of listening comprehension, oral reading fluency and word recognition in reading comprehension seems to vary across orthographies and schooling years. This study aims to examine the direct effects of these three variables on reading comprehension and to test for the existence of indirect effects of word recognition and listening comprehension on reading comprehension via oral reading fluency in European Portuguese, an orthography of intermediate depth. A sample of 264 students was assessed at the end of grades 2 and 4. Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that listening comprehension, word recognition and oral reading fluency predicted reading comprehension in both grade 2 and grade 4. Moreover, the three variables measured in grade 2 predicted later reading comprehension in grade 4. Listening comprehension was always the strongest predictor. Oral reading fluency mediated the relationship between word recognition and reading comprehension, but it was not a mediator variable in the relationship between listening comprehension and reading comprehension. These findings indicate that, similarly to what has been found for other orthographies, the simple view of reading is a valid framework to account for reading comprehension variability in European Portuguese and that interventions to increase reading comprehension levels should focus on word recognition, fluency, and, especially, listening comprehension. 相似文献

In the Simple View of Reading proposed by Hoover and Gough (1990), reading comprehension is conceived as the product of word decoding and listening comprehension. It is claimed that listening comprehension or the linguistic processes involved in the comprehension of oral language strongly constrain the process of reading comprehension. In several studies, evidence for this theoretical framework has been provided for first language learners. In the present study, an attempt was made to find empirical evidence for the same view underlying second language reading. Therefore, the word decoding and listening comprehension skills of samples of 1,293 first language (L1) learners and 394 second language (L2) learners of Dutch were related to their reading comprehension abilities throughout the primary grades. It was found that the levels of word decoding were more or less equal in the two groups of learners, whereas the L2 learners stayed behind their first L1 peers in both listening, and reading comprehension. The relationships between word decoding, listening comprehension and reading comprehension turned out to be highly comparable. A longitudinal analysis of data showed the Simple View of Reading to be equally valid for L1 and L2 learners. With progression of grade, the impact of word decoding on reading comprehension decreased, whereas the impact of listening comprehension showed an increase to the same extent in the two groups of learners. However, the reciprocity of the relationship between listening comprehension and reading comprehension tended to be less prominent in the group of L2 learners. 相似文献

This study examined the relationship between morphological awareness and reading comprehension in English among Spanish-speaking
English language learners (ELLs) followed from fourth through fifth grade. Students’ ability to decompose derived words while
reading was assessed using an experimental task. Multiple regression analyses were used to investigate the contribution of
performance on this task to reading comprehension above and beyond word reading skills, phonological awareness, and breadth
of vocabulary knowledge. The relationship between morphological awareness and reading comprehension was found to strengthen
between fourth and fifth grade, and in fifth grade, morphological awareness was found to be a significant predictor of reading
comprehension. The findings were robust across two measures of reading comprehension and two methods of scoring the experimental
task of morphological awareness, and thus support the inclusion of derivational morphology in a model of the English reading
comprehension of Spanish-speaking ELLs.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which teacher ratings of behavioral attention predicted responsiveness to word reading instruction in first-grade and third-grade reading comprehension performance. Participants were 110 first-grade students identified as at risk for reading difficulties who received 20 weeks of intensive reading intervention in combination with classroom reading instruction. Path analysis indicated that teacher ratings of student attention significantly predicted students’ word reading growth in first grade even when they were competed against other relevant predictors (phonological awareness, nonword reading, sight word efficiency, vocabulary, listening comprehension, hyperactivity, nonverbal reasoning, and short-term memory). Also, student attention demonstrated a significant indirect effect on third-grade reading comprehension via word reading but not via listening comprehension. Results suggest that student attention (indexed by teacher ratings) is an important predictor of at-risk readers’ responsiveness to reading instruction in first grade and that first-grade reading growth mediates the relationship between students’ attention and their future level of reading comprehension. The importance of considering ways to manage and improve behavioral attention when implementing reading instruction is discussed. 相似文献

The present study sought to clarify the relations amongst serial decoding, irregular word recognition, listening comprehension, facets of oral vocabulary and reading comprehension in two cohorts of children differing in reading level. In the process, the components of the simple view of reading were evaluated. Students in grades 1 (n = 67) and 6 (n = 56) were assessed on measures of phonological awareness, decoding, irregular word recognition, listening comprehension, oral vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Even when all other measures were controlled, vocabulary was found to explain reading comprehension in grade 6 but not grade 1. Vocabulary also predicted decoding in grade 6 and irregular word recognition in both grades. These results are interpreted as supporting a not-so-simple view of the constructs underlying reading comprehension that acknowledges complex connections between print skills and oral language. 相似文献

This investigation analyzed goals from the Individual Educational Programs (IEPs) of 54 high school students with diagnosed
reading disabilities in basic skills (decoding and/or word identification). Results showed that for 73% of the students, the
IEPs written when they were in high school failed to specify any objectives regarding their acute difficulties with basic
skills. IEPs from earlier points in the students’ educations were also reviewed, as available. For 23 of the students, IEPs
were present in the students’ files for three time points: elementary school (ES), middle school (MS), and high school (HS).
Another 20 students from the sample of 54 had IEPs available for two time points (HS and either MS or ES). Comparisons with
the IEPs from younger years showed a pattern of decline from ES to MS to HS in the percentage of IEPs that commented on or
set goals pertaining to weaknesses in decoding. These findings suggest that basic skills deficits that persist into the upper
grade levels are not being sufficiently targeted for remediation, and help explain why older students frequently fail to resolve
their reading problems. 相似文献

Despite the growing body of research investigating the nature of text-reading fluency and its relationship to comprehension
among monolingual children, very little is known about text-reading fluency for language minority (LM) learners reading in
English. The present study investigated the nature of text-reading fluency—its relationship to reading comprehension and its
predictors—for 76 Spanish-speaking LM fifth graders. Text-reading fluency explained unique variance in reading comprehension
above and beyond word-reading fluency and oral language competencies, but its effect was not robust. The impact of text-reading
fluency on comprehension was moderated by an interaction such that only students with proficient text-reading fluency and well-developed oral language demonstrated skilled comprehension. Word-reading fluency and decoding skill were significant
predictors of text-reading fluency. The results suggest that existing assumptions about the relationship between text-reading
fluency and comprehension may not readily apply to LM learners. 相似文献

This longitudinal study investigated growth in reading-related skills between Grade 1 and 4 for language minority (LM) learners and their native English-speaking classmates from similarly low socioeconomic backgrounds (N = 166). Growth trajectories were compared by language background and by Grade 4 reading difficulties, with the goal of informing decisions about how early LM learners can undergo screening for risk of reading difficulties. As a group, LM learners demonstrated weaknesses in vocabulary and oral comprehension and strengths in phonological awareness that were apparent in Grade 1 and consistent through Grade 4. LM learners also demonstrated early strengths in letter-word identification but fell far below national norms by Grade 4. The subset of LM learners with word reading difficulties demonstrated major weaknesses in vocabulary, oral comprehension, phonological awareness, and working memory, whereas LM learners with specific reading comprehension difficulties demonstrated major weaknesses in vocabulary and oral comprehension; these weaknesses were apparent in Grade 1 and consistent through Grade 4, suggesting the importance of early assessment and intervention. 相似文献

This study explored subprocesses of reading for 157 fifth grade Spanish-speaking English language learners (ELLs) by examining whether morphological awareness made a unique contribution to reading comprehension beyond a strong covariate-phonological decoding. The role of word reading and reading vocabulary as mediators of this relationship was also explored. Results showed that fourth grade morphological awareness did not make a significant unique direct effect on fifth grade reading comprehension, controlling for phonological decoding, word reading, and reading vocabulary. Fourth grade morphological awareness did, though, make a unique moderate total contribution to fifth grade reading comprehension with reading vocabulary, but not word reading, mediating the relationship when controlling for phonological decoding. In contrast, phonological decoding made a nonsignificant total contribution to reading comprehension with neither word reading nor reading vocabulary mediating the relationship when controlling for morphological awareness. Alternative models were also explored, showing the importance of including both predictors in a model of ELL reading comprehension, primarily to include the support of phonological decoding to word reading and the support of morphological awareness to reading comprehension via reading vocabulary. Results highlighted the importance of morphological awareness in facilitating reading comprehension via improving reading vocabulary knowledge, and also the potential of interventions involving morphological instruction to support reading achievement for Spanish-speaking ELLs. 相似文献

We examined the Simple View of reading from a behavioral genetic perspective. Two aspects of word decoding (phonological decoding
and word recognition), two aspects of oral language skill (listening comprehension and vocabulary), and reading comprehension
were assessed in a twin sample at age 9. Using latent factor models, we found that overlap among phonological decoding, word
recognition, listening comprehension, vocabulary, and reading comprehension was primarily due to genetic influences. Shared
environmental influences accounted for associations among word recognition, listening comprehension, vocabulary, and reading
comprehension. Independent of phonological decoding and word recognition, there was a separate genetic link between listening
comprehension, vocabulary, and reading comprehension and a specific shared environmental link between vocabulary and reading
comprehension. There were no residual genetic or environmental influences on reading comprehension. The findings provide evidence
for a genetic basis to the “Simple View” of reading. 相似文献

A longitudinal study followed the progress of a group of elementary SLD students as they were instructed using the Alphabetic
Phonics (AP) curriculum. After a three year period, the AP curriculum produced positive results in reading comprehension for
most SLD students, particularly those who began the program in first and second grade. Students in resource and self-contained
settings made significant gains in reading comprehension, although the two types of students exhibited different patterns
of progress. Students of different ability levels responded differently to the AP curriculum. Average and above average students
made significant progress in reading comprehension, but below average students did not advance substantially in relation to
their ability level. At the end of three years, classroom teachers had a significantly more positive view of students’ word
attack, oral reading, and silent reading comprehension skills. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the simple view of reading (SVR) and contributions of verbal proficiency and reading fluency to reading comprehension for fourth‐, seventh‐ and ninth‐grade readers (N=271). The SVR explained a significant proportion of variance in reading comprehension for all grades with decreasing explained variance in higher grades. The variance explained by decoding decreased from fourth grade to higher grades. The variance explained by listening comprehension increased from fourth‐ to seventh‐grade, but did not change from seventh‐ to ninth‐grade. In all grades, verbal proficiency and reading fluency contributed substantial additional variance to reading comprehension beyond the SVR. Changes in the predictive relation between listening and reading comprehension and factors influencing reading comprehension in each grade are discussed. 相似文献

Cunningham and Stanovich reported a longitudinal investigation over 10 years that examined the unique influence of exposure to print in explaining individual differences on various measures of reading achievement and declarative (general) knowledge. The present study replicated their investigation with a larger number of participants and additional measures of literacy and language skills. Fifty-four 1st graders were administered reading, spelling, vocabulary, IQ, and listening comprehension measures and then followed to the end of 10th grade. At the end of 10th grade, they were administered an IQ test and measures of reading comprehension, language ability, general knowledge, and exposure to print. Results showed that 1st grade reading skills were a strong predictor of 10th grade outcomes. Second and third-grade reading skills were predictive of individual differences in print exposure even after 10th grade reading comprehension and language ability had been partialed. Individual differences in print exposure also predicted differences in the growth of reading ability, word decoding, spelling, vocabulary, and listening comprehension throughout the elementary grades. Findings confirm the powerful, long-term benefits of providing children with a fast start in reading and support the reciprocal nature of strong reading skills and engagement in reading and reading-related activities. 相似文献

This study examines the contribution of print exposure to oral language (expressive vocabulary and listening comprehension) and reading (word reading and reading comprehension) in first and second grade in Chile, and tests whether the contribution of print exposure to reading comprehension is mediated by language and word reading skills. Two‐hundred and eighty one children (mean age 6.55 years) participated. Print exposure was measured with a book‐cover recognition task in first grade, and outcomes were measured both in first and second grade. Print exposure had direct effects on all outcomes in first grade and indirect effects in second grade. Effects on first grade reading comprehension were partially mediated by listening comprehension and word reading, but not vocabulary. We discuss the importance of the findings for improving reading comprehension in countries with low access to books. 相似文献

Twenty children in fourth through seventh grade participated in 16 one-hour individual tutorials over a four-month period.
Half of the children received structural analysis and alphabet principle training; half received only alphabetic principle
training; all received training in orthographic and phonological skills, practice in oral reading of connected text, and monitoring
strategies for comprehension. Results showed that the children improved reliably in reading and related measures. Treatment
condition did not predict rate of growth. Only rapid automatic naming of letters predicted response to intervention and only
on rate of real word reading. Results of this study indicate that upper elementary and middle school students who have not
yet mastered accuracy and automaticity of word recognition should be given explicit instruction in word recognition, especially
in the alphabetic principle. The benefits of structural analysis training were evident only in trends for individual students
on hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) growth analyses.

In the present study we investigated developmental relations among word reading fluency, listening comprehension, and text reading fluency to reading comprehension in a relatively transparent language, Korean. A total of 98 kindergartners and 170 first graders in Korea were assessed on a series of tasks involving listening comprehension, word reading fluency, text reading fluency, and reading comprehension. Results from multigroup structural equation models showed that text reading fluency was a dissociable construct from word reading fluency for both kindergartners and first graders. In addition, a developmental pattern emerged: listening comprehension was not uniquely related to text reading fluency for first graders, but not for kindergartners, over and above word reading fluency. In addition, text reading fluency was uniquely related to reading comprehension for kindergartners, but not for first graders, after accounting for word reading fluency and listening comprehension. For first graders, listening comprehension dominated the relations. There were no differences in the pattern of relations for skilled and less skilled readers in first grade. Results are discussed from a developmental perspective for reading comprehension component skills including text reading fluency. 相似文献

The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate the developmental antecedents of reading performance and its subcomponents from the beginning of the first year to the end of the second year of primary school. One‐hundred‐and‐fourteen seven‐year‐old Finnish‐speaking children were tested on reading‐related skills during their first week of school using a test battery designed for school entrants. Following this they were examined six times on word reading and reading comprehension skills. The results showed that the reading‐related variables predicting reading performance varied according to the phase of reading development. Moreover, partially different antecedents predicted word reading and reading comprehension. Word reading was associated with letter knowledge and listening comprehension, whereas initial word reading skill and listening comprehension were highly associated with the development of reading comprehension. The results support the development of reading instructional methods that take into account these differences in the components of reading performance and their development. 相似文献
