Cervetti, Gina N.; Fitzgerald, Miranda S.; Hiebert, Elfrieda H.; Hebert, Michael – Reading Psychology, 2023
We report on a meta-analysis designed to test the theory that instruction that involves direct teaching of academic vocabulary and teaching strategies to determine the meaning of unknown words develops students' abilities to infer new words' meanings and builds students' overall vocabulary knowledge. We meta-analyzed 39 experimental and…

Morris, Darrell – Reading Psychology, 2023
In this article, I (a) overview the ebbs and flows of two beginning reading approaches (code-emphasis and balanced instruction) used in U.S. schools from 1950 to the present; (b) compare and contrast the two instructional approaches; and (c) suggest some simple assessment procedures that can be used to measure student learning. In closing, I…

Fields, R. Stacy; Elleman, Amy M.; Oslund, Eric L.; Clark, Laura B.; Olson, Collin – Reading Psychology, 2023
Writing is a skill that has increased in significance for both researchers and classroom teachers due to changes in recent standards. Currently, many high school English Learners (ELs) are struggling to master this priority skill. A strategy that has been shown to be effective for adolescent writers is Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD).…

John, Divya; Devi, G. Sandhiya – Reading Psychology, 2023
Engineering undergraduates face difficulties in comprehending discipline-specific study materials because the reading skill has been neglected at the school-level, and the students themselves have not been motivated adequately to read. This paper hypothesizes that instruction-sessions on reading strategies enable tertiary-level learners to…

Wright, Tanya S.; Cervetti, Gina N.; Wise, Crystal; McClung, Nicola A. – Reading Psychology, 2022
We explored whether knowledge building through read alouds of a conceptually coherent (CC) set of texts might support children's incidental acquisition of vocabulary in these texts and listening comprehension of related texts. Eleven classrooms of first (n = 83) and second grade students (n = 112) were randomly assigned to read alouds of either a…

Dilgard, Cortney; Hodges, Tracey S.; Coleman, Julianne – Reading Psychology, 2022
Stagnant standardized test scores keep literacy achievement at the forefront of national education discussions. Increased conversations about the science of reading have propelled investigations into different types of phonics instruction. However, questions still linger such as "Which strategies are most effective for which students?",…

Kakvand, Rokhsareh; Aliasin, Seyed Hesamuddin; Mohammadi, Elham – Reading Psychology, 2022
Top-down and bottom-up reading processes have attracted attention from researchers in ESL/EFL teaching/learning. However, the role of these processes and their combination in L2 vocabulary learning and retention still needs further research. Given this, this study sought to consider their role in L2 vocabulary learning and retention by Iranian EFL…

Maguet, McKenna Louise; Morrison, Timothy G.; Wilcox, Brad; Billen, Monica T. – Reading Psychology, 2021
Reading comprehension is the goal of reading, and making inferences is vital. Authors usually expect readers to make multiple types of inferences, including anaphoric, background knowledge, predictive, and retrospective. Common core assessments include all of these, yet instructional materials focus mostly on only one type, retrospective. This…

Hattan, Courtney – Reading Psychology, 2020
Relational reasoning [RR] is the ability to derive meaningful patterns within any information stream. Further, RR can be used as a knowledge activation technique before and during reading, guiding students to notice when their prior understandings are similar to, different from, or in conflict with the text at hand. The purpose of the current…

Ankrum, Julie W.; Morewood, Aimee L.; Parsons, Seth A.; Vaughn, Margaret; Parsons, Allison Ward; Hawkins, Paul M. – Reading Psychology, 2020
A one-size-fits-all model of instruction cannot provide equitable access to education for all students. Research demonstrates that thoughtfully changing instruction to support student learning during a lesson, known as adaptive teaching, is an important component of effective literacy instruction. To understand this dynamic dimension of effective…
