Experimental Intervention Research on Students with Specific Poor Comprehension: A Systematic Review of Treatment Outcomes
Lee, Sung Hee; Tsai, Shu-Fei
Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v30 n4 p917-943 Apr 2017
Students with specific poor comprehension (SPC) can sound out words accurately, but have difficulty understanding what they read. However, most existing reading intervention studies on students with reading disabilities did not differentiate students with SPC from other types of students with reading disabilities who accompany with decoding difficulties. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize findings from 14 experimental intervention studies that have included students with SPC with the goal of increasing reading comprehension. Out of eight types of interventions identified, Reciprocal Teaching (g = 0.856) demonstrated the largest effect size. Metalinguistic intervention showed the effect size of above 0.50 (a medium effect size), suggesting that intervention that explicitly teaches high-level oral language strategies was positive to improve reading performances of students with SPC. Findings also suggest a need to specify the classification criteria of students with SPC to broaden an understanding about the evidence-based intervention for students with SPC. Practical implications for effective practice, limitations, and future directions are discussed.
