Comprehension

In Gayle DeDe’s (2017) study, they explored silent reading comprehension in individuals with Aphasia. Word frequency, word class, and word length were the three variables that were investigated in order to examine how these variables contribute to time course of silent reading in individuals with aphasia. DeDe previously conducted similar studies regarding reading comprehension in individuals with Aphasia. In 2012, DeDe found that individuals with Aphasia showed longer reading time and listening…

thinking skills are a rarity (Groce & Groce, 2005). Biggers (2001) posits that in relation to assessment and comprehension, students should be provided with multiple opportunities to revisit texts, as well as possibilities for written responses and extension activities related to texts read. Since teachers use performance on the AR quizzes as the primary tool to gauge students’ comprehension abilities, it is possible that critical-thinking and higher-order literacy activities are absent from the…

Academic Review Reading Fluency Daniel’s reading fluency at roughly a fourth grade level. He is currently being progress monitored at a fourth grade level as his AIMSweb fall benchmark score placed him below the 10th percentile. After reading seven fourth grade passages this year, Daniel has averaged 83 WRC (words read correctly) with 8 errors. This score would put him in the 25th percentile compared to fourth grade students attending Robinson School. He has read as many as 106 WRC and as few…

Connecting with the text is an important comprehension strategy. Students make connections to text by thinking about the experiences they have had. These experiences can be connected to personal experience. For example, if a child has previously visited the Grand Canyon with their family, and then a text being read in class refers to the Grand Canyon, the child can make a Text-to-Self connection. Text-to-Text is another type of connection that a child might make. This type of connection…

Since the bombing of Pearl Harbor took place during WWII, the best option is to start with a prior knowledge strategy for comprehension. I will use an anticipation guide that contains ten true or false statements about Pearl Harbor and WWII and review them before the reading is started. Subsequently, I will start my next approach by conducting the shared reading approach to strengthen fluency. I will start the reading session and ask volunteers to join in and share. The shared reading strategy…

fluent reader is defined as “having the ability to read with speed, accuracy and proper expression” (Salvadore, 2015). Readers must develop fluency skills to make the bridge from word recognition to reading comprehension. Fluency is an important necessity for skilled reading and reading comprehension (NICHHD, 2000). To transition from the beginning reading stage and become a fluent reader, one must progress from the beginning stage of reading and writing. The next section will further describe…
