Episodically Enhanced Comprehension Fluency

چکیده
Fluent reading comprehension was explored in a series of experiments involving sentences presented in normal and inverted typography. Sentences read in a test phase had been read earlier in exactly the same form, or in versions that were created by (a) altering the word order within sentences to create randomly ordered word strings or (b) exchanging causally related clauses to form new meaningful sentences. Variation from exact repetition of word order or clause combination increased the time taken to read the test sentences and these effects were evident over retention intervals ranging from one day to four months. Varying word order across repeated presentations of a sentence was also shown to reduce reporting accuracy in a rapid serial reading task. These results support an episodic view of the basis for rereading fluency in which comprehension processes responsible for constructing and integrating propositions are automatically recruited and reapplied when a sentence is reread. Resume La facilite de comprehension de textes a fait l'objet d'une serie d'experiences dans lesquelles les sujets devaient lire des phrases dont la typographic etait tantot normale, tantot inversee. Les phrases presentees a l'etape d'essai avaient ete lues auparavant soit sous une forme identique, soit sous une nouvelle forme ou a) l'ordre des mots dans les phrases etait modifie de maniere a creer des suites de mots agences au hasard ou b) les propositions causales etaient combinees autrement pour creer de nouvelles phrases sensees. Lorsque l'ordre des mots ou l'agencement des propositions etait modifie par rapport a celui qui 6tait repete fidelement, le temps de lecture des phrases presentees a l'essai etait plus long, et cet effet se manifestait de facon evidente apres les intervalles de retention allant d'un jour a quatre mois. La presentation repetee d'une meme phrase dans laquelle l'ordre des mots etait modifie avait egalement pour effet de reduire 1'exactitude des reponses donnees pendant une tache de lecture rapide en serie. Les resultats obtenus temoignent des bases episodiques de la facilite de relecture ou les processus de comprehension responsables de la construction et de l'inte'gration des propositions sont automatiquement selectionnes et reactives lors de la relecture

Developmental, Component-Based Model of Reading Fluency: An Investigation of Predictors of Word-Reading Fluency, Text-Reading Fluency, and Reading Comprehension.
The primary goal was to expand our understanding of text reading fluency (efficiency or automaticity)-how its relation to other constructs (e.g., word reading fluency and reading comprehension) changes over time and how it is different from word reading fluency and reading comprehension. We examined (1) developmentally changing relations among word reading fluency, listening comprehension, text...
متن کاملFluency Interventions and the Impact on Comprehension
Reading fluency is understood to be the rate and accuracy of that which is being read and comprehension is the understanding of what has been read. Many studies support the concept that fluency skills support reading comprehension. Many students with specific learning disabilities lack the fluency skills needed for successful reading comprehension. This study provided fluency interventions to e...
متن کاملRunning head: ORAL AND SILENT READING FLUENCY
Silent reading fluency has received limited attention in the school-based literatures across the past decade. We fill this gap by examining both oral and silent reading fluency and their relation to overall abilities in reading comprehension in fourth-grade students. Lower-level reading skills (word reading, rapid automatic naming) and vocabulary were included in structural equation models in o...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine whether different measures of oral reading fluency relate differentially to reading comprehension performance in two samples of second-grade students: (a) students who evidenced difficulties with nonsense-word oral reading fluency, real-word oral reading fluency, and oral reading fluency of connected text (ORFD), and (b) students who evidenced di...
متن کاملFluency and Comprehension 1 Running head: RELATIONSHIPS OF READING FLUENCY TO COMPREHENSION Relationships of Three Components of Reading Fluency to Reading Comprehension
This study examined the relationships of three levels of reading fluency, the individual word, the syntactic unit, and the whole passage, to reading comprehension among 278 fifth graders heterogeneous in reading ability. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that reading fluency at each level related uniquely to performance on a standardized reading comprehension test in a model including i...
