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

This study examined the relationships among reading comprehension, reading self-concept, and home literacy environment (HLE)
in a sample (n = 67) of fourth grade children enrolled in an urban school district. Children’s reading comprehension, word reading, and
verbal ability were assessed using standardized measures. Reading self-concept was assessed with a child-administered survey
that is comprised of three subscales (i.e., competence in reading, perception of ease with reading, attitude towards reading).
Information on child and family literacy practices was collected via a questionnaire administered to parents of participating
children. Bivariate correlations and multiple regression analyses demonstrated that all three reading self-concept subscales
were positively related to reading comprehension after controlling for verbal ability and word reading skills, and aspects
of HLE were positively related to aspects of reading self-concept. The findings support the inclusion of psychosocial and
family literacy measures in future studies designed to investigate the process of reading comprehension for children beyond
the primary grades.

This study examined (1) the potential influence of oral language characteristics of two languages that bilingual children
acquire on their PA and (2) the relationship of PA in L1 with PA and literacy skills in L2, using data from Korean–English
bilingual children. Thirty three Korean–English bilingual children, composed of two subsamples from two different locations/bilingual
programs, participated in the study. The findings showed that the sample of bilingual children from two bilingual programs
differed in their mean performances on intrasyllabic phonological awareness in Korean (i.e., rime awareness and body awareness).
Furthermore, children’s Korean rime awareness, but not body awareness, was positively related to their phonological awareness
and literacy skills in English. Finally, these children’s phonological awareness in Korean made a positive contribution to
English decoding skills even after controlling for their English sight word reading skills. The results are discussed in light
of interlingual influence on bilingual children’s phonological awareness.

The aim of this study was, firstly, to explore the development of primary school children’s metacognitive knowledge from preschool
to the 2nd grade and the development of their text comprehension skill from the 1st grade to the 3rd grade. Secondly, the
developmental dynamics between metacognitive knowledge (MCK) and text comprehension skill (CS) across the first three school
years were investigated. The longitudinal sample included 181 children who were tested three times from preschool spring to
the spring term of the 3rd grade using an identical set of measurements: the Metacognitive Knowledge Test and Listening and
Reading Comprehension Tests. In studying developmental change using Latent Growth Curve modelling (LGC), no uni-construct effect for the development of MCK or for text CS was found. However, a slight multi-construct cumulative
development between the children’s MCK and reading CS was identified. Thus, it could be cautiously interpreted that the more
the children’s MCK developed from preschool to the end of the 2nd grade, the better reading CS they showed during the first
three school years.

Reading disability (RD) typically consists of deficits in word reading accuracy and/or reading comprehension. While it is
well known that word reading accuracy deficits lead to comprehension deficits (general reading disability, GRD), less is understood
about neuropsychological profiles of children who exhibit adequate word reading accuracy but nevertheless develop specific
reading comprehension deficits (S-RCD). Establishing the underlying neuropsychological processes associated with different
RD types is essential for ultimately understanding core neurobiological bases of reading comprehension. To this end, the present
study investigated isolated and contextual word fluency, oral language, and executive function on reading comprehension performance
in 56 9- to 14-year-old children [21 typically developing (TD), 18 GRD, and 17 S-RCD]. Results indicated that TD and S-RCD
participants read isolated words at a faster rate than participants with GRD; however, both RD groups had contextual word
fluency and oral language weaknesses. Additionally, S-RCD participants showed prominent weaknesses in executive function.
Implications for understanding the neuropsychological bases for reading comprehension are discussed.

This paper reports a part of a study on the construction of mathematical meanings in terms of development of semiotic systems
(gestures, speech in oral and written form, drawings) in a Vygotskian framework, where artefacts are used as tools of semiotic
mediation. It describes a teaching experiment on perspective drawing at primary school (fourth to fifth grade classes), starting
from a concrete experience with a Dürer’s glass to the interpretation of a new artefact. We analyse the long term process
of appropriation of the mathematical model of perspective drawing (visual pyramid) through the development of gestures, speech
and drawings under the teacher’s guidance.

Increasing numbers of Spanish-speaking preschool children require attention to improve the likelihood of success in school.
This study, part of a larger 2-year ethnographic study of a Head Start classroom, elaborates the role of teachers’ interactions
with students who were learning English. Using an interactional ethnography approach, the authors focus on the social nature
of these interactions. The study illuminates the kinds of teacher interactions with students that support and hinder the students’
language learning. It reinforces the importance of student engagement in social interactions with teachers and with English
other than codes of obedience and authority. Finally, it recommends actions teachers can take to provide optimal circumstances
for English learning interactions for students.

The role of compound awareness in Chinese children’s vocabulary acquisition and character reading 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study examined compound awareness in relation to Chinese children's vocabulary acquisition and character reading. Two
aspects of compound awareness were investigated: the ability to identify the head of a compound noun and the ability to construct
a new compound word from familiar morphemes. The compound awareness tasks, along with rapid automatized naming (RAN) and phonological
awareness tasks, were administered to 29 first graders and 30 second graders in Mainland China. Results show that (1) compound
awareness develops relatively early among Chinese children and improves with age, (2) compound awareness explains unique variance
in vocabulary and character reading, after controlling for age, RAN, and phonological awareness, and (3) the contribution
made by compound awareness to vocabulary is much larger than the contribution made by phonological awareness. These results
demonstrate that compound awareness plays a central role in Chinese children's literacy development, particularly in vocabulary
acquisition.

The study investigates immediate and delayed effects of different hypermedia glosses on incidental vocabulary learning and
reading comprehension of advanced foreign language learners. Sixty-nine freshman TEFL students studying at a Turkish university
were randomly assigned to three types of annotations: (a) definitions of words, (b) definitions coupled with associated pictures,
and (c) definitions coupled with associated short videos. Subjects were asked to read an annotated text with the intention
of comprehension. The data were collected through a vocabulary pre-test, a vocabulary post-test, a delayed vocabulary test
as well as a reading comprehension test. In order to measure incidental vocabulary learning, subjects were not told that they
were going to be given vocabulary tests. Results showed that the groups that had access to definitions along with both types
of visuals had significantly higher vocabulary scores on both immediate and delayed post-tests than the definition only group.
However, no differences were observed on the reading comprehension test. Finally, the qualitative data revealed that hypermedia
reading had positive impact on participants’ attitudes towards foreign language reading and vocabulary learning.

The study uses an orthographic judgment task to evaluate the efficiency of the lexical reading route in Italian dyslexic children.
It has been suggested that Italian dyslexic children rely prevalently on the sub-word-level routine for reading. However,
it is not easy to test the lexical reading route in Italian directly because of the lack of critical items (irregular words),
so visual lexical decision tasks and the comprehension/detection of pseudo-homophones are often used. While the former may
also be solved on the basis of visual familiarity or phonological re-codification, the latter also involves conceptual and
syntactic skills. Eleven dyslexic children participated in the study, performing an orthographic judgment task on stimuli
with two phonologically plausible spellings, of which only one was orthographically correct. Their performance was compared
with those of 11 proficient readers. The dyslexic children showed selective impairment in detecting phonologically plausible
errors, but their performance was normal when required to judge errors inserted in words with regular orthography, i.e., devoid
of orthographic ambiguity, and for which a sub-word-level reading procedure is sufficient to guarantee a good performance.
Overall, data are coherent with a diagnosis of surface dyslexia, with most children showing defective orthographic lexical
processing.

This study was intended to help clarify the nature of dyslexia in Spanish. A sample of 30 children, 8 to 16 years old, participated
in this study. Dyslexic children were compared to two control groups, a chronological age-matched control group and a reading
level-matched control group. Measures included nonword and pseudohomophone reading (phonological procedure), homophone choice
(orthographic procedure), and phonological awareness tasks (syllabic, intrasyllabic, and phonemic level). For each task, accuracy
(error percentage) and performance time were measured. Results showed a deficit in the dyslexic group on all the tasks, which
was more evident when time was considered. With the results consistent with studies in other transparent orthographies such
as Italian and German, speed problems seem to be more evident and relevant than accuracy problems in Spanish dyslexic children.

On the ground that reading fluency entails appropriate phrasing or prosody as well as facile word recognition, we investigated
the effectiveness of text-based and word-based repeated readings procedures for promoting fluency of reading aloud and comprehension
in second-grade children. Repeated readings of text printed with spaces between phrases and ends of lines at clause boundaries
(phrase-cued text), repeated readings of text printed with conventional layout (standard text), and repeated readings of lists
of difficult words from text were compared. Computer-based, guided repeated reading training intervened between a pretest
and post-test reading of text. Each training condition led to significant benefits on one or more of the experimental measures
obtained from reading aloud. Repeated readings with text resulted in greater gains in fluency than repeated readings with
word lists. Reading with natural prosody was most strongly facilitated by repeated readings of phrase-cued text, which provided
visible support for sentence structure.

Previous studies with English-speaking families in the North American context demonstrated that home literacy practices have
positive influences on children’s literacy acquisition. The present study expands previous studies by examining how home literacy
practices are related to growth trajectories of emergent literacy skills (i.e., vocabulary, letter-name knowledge, and phonological awareness) and conventional literacy
skills (i.e., word reading, pseudoword reading, and spelling), and by using data from Korean children and families (N = 192). The study revealed two dimensions of home literacy practices, home reading and parent teaching. Frequent reading
at home was positively associated with children’s emergent literacy skills as well as conventional literacy skills in Korean.
However, children whose parents reported more frequent teaching tended to have low scores in their phonological awareness,
vocabulary, word reading and pseudoword reading after accounting for home reading. These results suggest a bidirectional relationship
between home literacy practices, parent teaching in particular, and children’s literacy skills such that parents adjust their
teaching in response to their child’s literacy acquisition. Furthermore, cultural variation in views on parent teaching may
explain these results.

Despite an extensive literature linking individual differences in phonological processing to reading ability, some adults
show normal text comprehension abilities despite poor pseudoword reading (Jackson & Doellinger (2002). Journal of Educational Psychology, 94, 64–78). This study was undertaken to investigate differences between these individuals, termed resilient readers, and proficient
readers in performance and degree of lateralization on a variety of single word processing tasks. Participants completed seven
divided visual field tasks investigating various aspects of reading. Resilient readers performed less accurately on basic
word recognition tasks, but not on the tasks involving semantic access. Resilient readers did not differ from proficient readers
on reaction time or lateralization on any of the experimental tasks. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that
skilled phonological decoding is not necessary for reading for meaning in a college population. It is proposed that higher-level
semantic information and general world knowledge may allow some readers to compensate for deficiencies in lower-level word
recognition processes.

We investigated the initial development of reading and spelling in European Portuguese. First-graders, tested in February
and June, had to read and spell words and pseudowords. In February there were regularity and graphemic complexity effects,
indicating that these children relied on grapheme–phoneme conversion. The lexicality effect found in spelling, in June, suggest
that by the end of first grade these children had begun to construct an orthographic lexicon. However, lexical addressing
is not inconsistent with phonological mediation as regularization errors increased between the sessions. Additionally, the
previously reported similarity in global performance of Portuguese and French beginning readers may conceal processing differences
that are related to specific characteristics of the corresponding orthographic codes.

It has been proposed that sensitivity to the parameters underlying speech rhythm may be important in setting up well-specified
phonological representations in the mental lexicon. However, different acoustic parameters may contribute differentially to
rhythm and stress in different languages. Here we contrast sensitivity to one such cue, amplitude envelope onset (rise time),
in dyslexic and normally-developing children in two languages, Hungarian and English, ages from 7 to 11. Dyslexic and control
children received phonological tasks, reading and spelling tasks and auditory processing tasks. While sensitivity to rise
time was related to phonological representation in both languages, clear differences were found between languages. It is suggested
that these differences may reflect differential language-specific weighting of different acoustic cues to rhythm and stress.

The study investigated several teacher characteristics, with a focus on two measures of teaching experience, and their association
with second grade student achievement gains in low performing, high poverty schools in a Mid-Atlantic state. Value-added models
using three-level hierarchical linear modeling were used to analyze the data from 1,544 students, 154 teachers, and 53 schools.
Results indicated that traditional teacher qualification characteristics such as licensing status and educational attainment
were not statistically significant in producing student achievement gains. Total years of teaching experience was also not
a significant predictor but a more specific measure, years of teaching experience at a particular grade level, was significantly
associated with increased student reading achievement. We caution researchers and policymakers when interpreting results from
studies that have used only a general measure of teacher experience as effects are possibly underestimated. Policy implications
are discussed.

The measurement of online self-regulation processes is a very important issue and in this rejoinder to Ainley and Patrick (this issue) I am arguing that including measures of metacognitive experiences, in conjunction with measures of other affective experiences, in various phases of task processing can increase the reliability and validity of online measures and our understanding of the self-regulation process. Furthermore, behavioral and performance measures as well as thinking aloud protocols can enrich not only the reliability and validity of our measures but also our awareness of the factors involved in the formation of the various facets of subjective experiences, be it affective or metacognitive.

Learning can be considered a function of synthesis in which both cognitive functioning and the domain of affectivity convey.
The aim of the present study was to investigate how specific literacy skills, i.e., reading and writing, relate to two main
dimensions of negative affectivity, i.e., anxiety and depression. Study 1 was conducted on third grade children (72), while
Study 2 focused on first grade children (43). Two groups of participants selected because they had been deemed ‘at risk’ for
the development of anxiety or depression and a control group were compared in reading and writing tasks, which included both
word and non-word lists. The assessment included also the evaluation of Verbal, Nonverbal and Composite IQs. Results indicated
that children ‘at risk’ for depression made more spelling errors in dictation of words in comparison to the control group.
No differences emerged in reading tasks or with reference to the group of children ‘at risk’ for anxiety.

Debates persist over the knowledge needed to teach elementary reading effectively. In one commonly held view verbal ability
is what matters most and the best approach to improving teacher quality is to recruit teachers who themselves are good readers.
Others argue that teachers need special forms of professional knowledge that differ substantially from common adult reading
and verbal ability. These different assumptions about what teachers need to know are directly relevant to whether teaching
reading demands specialized professional knowledge and they have lead to radically different policy recommendations for both
teacher preparation and induction. This study presents preliminary evidence that elementary reading teachers can hold a special
knowledge of language, text, and reading process that differs substantially from common reading and verbal ability. Implications
for the measurement and study of teacher quality and related implications for teacher evaluation and teacher development are
discussed.
