The Effects of Summarization Instruction on Text Comprehension of Students with Learning Disabilities.
Gajria, Meenakshi; Salvia, John
Exceptional Children, v58 n6 p508-16 May 1992
This study, with 30 students with learning disabilities (grades 6-9) and 15 nondisabled students, found that instruction in a 5-rule summarization strategy significantly increased reading comprehension of expository prose. Strategy use was maintained over time, and students were reported to generalize its use. (Author/DB)
