Differential Utilization of Syntactic and Semantic Information by Skilled and Less Skilled Readers in the Intermediate Grades.
Willows, Dale M.; Ryan, Ellen Bouchard
Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n5 p607-15 Oct 1981
Matched pairs of skilled and less skilled readers read aloud material in cloze procedure format and printed in geometric transformations. Skilled readers made greater use of grammatical and contextual information. The stability of differences suggests that differential utilization of syntactic and semantic cues contributes to differences in developing reading skill. (Author/BW)
