Silent Reading Reconsidered: Reinterpreting Reading Instruction and Its Effects.
Wilkinson, Ian; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v25 n1 p127-44 Spr 1988
Data from a study on silent classroom reading with 105 learning disabled students (aged 6-12 years) are reanalyzed using linear structural equation modeling. It appears that, when entry-level abilities are controlled, silent reading did not have a significant effect on posttest reading performance. (TJH)
