Rereading to Understand: The Role of Text Coherence and Reader Proficiency.
Zabrucky, Karen; Commander, Nannette Evans
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v18 n4 p442-54 Oct 1993
The use of a rereading strategy by 20 good and 24 poor comprehenders (undergraduates) to regulate understanding was examined. Poor comprehenders generally reread more, but good comprehenders were better able to direct their rereading selectively to text comprehension problems and had better text memory. (SLD)
