The Effect Three Testing Modes--Reading while Listening, Listening and Silent Reading--Have on Sixth Grade Boys and Girls.

Klein, Howard A.

Reading Improvement, v26 n4 p298-304 Win 1989

Examines whether using a combined silent reading-listening mode to administer the "Social Studies Inference Test" optimized information gathering. Finds that the combined modality produced more correct inferences than did silent reading alone. Finds only one gender difference--girls'"caution score" was higher than that for boys. (RS)
