Reading Comprehension Instruction: Summarization and Self-Monitoring Training for Students with Learning Disabilities.
Malone, Linda Duncan; Mastropieri, Margo A.
Exceptional Children, v58 n3 p270-79 Dec-Jan 1991-92
This evaluation study (with 45 middle school students with learning disabilities) found that students trained in summarization procedures performed significantly higher on all dependent measures of reading comprehension than those receiving traditional instruction. Also, on some measures, students also trained in self-monitoring outperformed those with only summarization training. (Author/DB)
