Nippold, Marilyn A.; Allen, Melissa M.; Kirsch, Dixon I.
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v32 n2 p90-100 Apr 2001
Proverb comprehension through reading was examined in 42 preadolescent students, 24 of whom were identified as "proficient readers," and 18 as "less proficient readers." Comprehension on both unfamiliar concrete and abstract proverbs was associated with reading proficiency, word knowledge, and analogical reasoning. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
