The Nature of Response Errors for Good and Poor Readers When Permitted to Reinspect Text during Question-Answering.
Davey, Beth
American Educational Research Journal, v25 n3 p399-414 Fall 1988
To explore question-answering strategy differences between young "good" and older "poor" readers, 60 fifth and sixth grade good readers and 60 ninth and tenth grade poor readers responded to questions about passages read and reinspected. Strategies used were inferred through analysis of response errors. Implications for reading assessment are discussed. (SLD)
