The present study examined four kinds of vocabulary knowledge: Definitional knowledge, using vocabulary in context, relational knowledge, and morphological knowledge. A measure was developed that assessed all four kinds of vocabulary...
Past research suggests that reading comprehension performance relies not solely on cognitive skills such as decoding, vocabulary, and inference skills, but also on attention and behavior. Specifically, the literature has pointed to...
Purpose– The relations between reading and writing have been studied extensively but the exact nature of their interrelation is not known. This study applied new advances in change score modeling to investigate longitudinal developmental...
Although word knowledge is often conceptualized as an "all or nothing" phenomenon, the dichotomy of this perspective may not capture what children actually know when they "know" a word. An alternative perspective, that word knowledge is...
Comparing Generic and Passage-Specific Assessments of Vocabulary and Fluency as Predictors of Reading Comprehension in Narrative and Expository Passages
Previous research has investigated vocabulary and fluency as predictors of reading comprehension, most of it concentrating on younger school-age readers. The present study compared both passage-specific and generic assessments of...
Prediction of kindergarten and preschool children's alphabetic knowledge was examined with respect to child characteristics (e.g., age, SES, emergent literacy skills), letter properties (e.g., alphabetic order, letter name structure, ...
Nonword repetition tasks have often been used as measures of phonological memory. However, there is considerable evidence that these tasks may rely heavily on lexical knowledge (Dollaghan & Campbell, 1998; Treiman, Goswami, & Bruck, 1990...
The goal of the current study was to explore the developmental relations of phonological processing skills (phonological awareness, phonological memory, and phonological access to lexical storage) by utilizing a longitudinal sample that...
Reading comprehension and its predictors have been extensively studied. One predictor of reading comprehension, listening comprehension, has consistently been shown to have strong cross-sectional and longitudinal associations with...
