Listening Effects Reading Comprehension of Black Inner City Children at Levels One, Two, and Three.
Lewis, Susan Edwina Bivins
The effects of an instructional program in active listening upon reading comprehension were investigated in a sample of 60 black, inner-city children in two Title I elementary schools. The Durrell Listening Reading Test and the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Achievement Test were administered before and after the experimental program. Comparisons with control groups which did not receive instruction in active listening indicated that the experimental group at level one made significant gains in listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and reading achievement. The experimental groups at levels two and three made significant gains in listening comprehension and reading achievement, but not in reading comprehension. (Author/AA)
