Kuhn, Melanie R.; Stahl, Steven A.
Journal of Literacy Research, v30 n1 p119-38 Mar 1998
Reviews 14 studies investigating approaches for teaching children to learn words from context. Finds nearly all treatments were effective compared to a no-treatment control; however, in the 4 studies that included a practice-only treatment, no significant differences were found. Suggests effects of treatments were due to the practice rather than to the specific strategies taught. (RS)
