This study examined the effect of improvements in timing/rhythmicity on students’ reading achievement. 86 participants completed preand post-test measures of reading achievement (i.e., Woodcock-Johnson III, Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing, Test of Word Reading Efficiency, and Test of Silent Word Reading Fluency). Students in the experimental group completed a 4-week intervention d...

The research literature has already provided us with some of what we need. There is consistent evidence that those who have more access to books read more (Krashen, 1993), and that those students who are provided with more time to do recreational reading (e.g. sustained silent reading programs) show better gains in reading achievement than comparison students. The effect is especially strong wh...

The purpose of this investigation was to explore the feasibility of fMRI in the study of developmental stuttering. Speech contrasts (loud versus silent reading) and language contrasts (reading of semantically meaningful text versus nonsense words) of six developmental stutterers and six nonstutterers were compared using a commercial 1 Tesla MR-Scanner (Siemens Expert). Results indicate that map...

In reading aloud, the eye typically leads over voice position. In the present study, eye movements and voice utterances were simultaneously recorded and tracked during the reading of a meaningful text to evaluate the eye-voice lead in 16 dyslexic and 16 same-age control readers. Dyslexic children were slower than control peers in reading texts. Their slowness was characterized by a great number...

The study assessed the eye movements of 60 adult German readers during silent reading of target words, consisting of 2 and 3 syllables, embedded in sentences. The first objective was to assess whether the inhibitory effect of first syllable frequency, which was up to now primarily shown for isolated words, generalizes to natural reading. The second objective was to assess the effect of orthogra...

While eye movements were recorded and brains scanned, 29 children with and without specific learning disabilities (SLDs) decided if sentences they read (half with only correctly spelled words and half with homonym foils) were meaningful. Significant main effects were found for diagnostic groups (non-SLD control, dysgraphia control, and dyslexia) in total fixation (dwell) time, total number of f...

Silent hypoxia is a well-known entity associated with SARSCoV-2 [1,2]. It condition where despite the patient being hypoxic, they do not show any signs and symptoms of respiratory distress [2]. Hypoxia can only be detected either by pulse oximetry reading or through blood gas analysis. These patients may have variable radiological appearances on presentation. Many studies shown silent has high ...

According to interpretations of results from the latest oral reading fluency (ORF) study conducted by National Assessment Educational Progress (White et al., 2020), fourth-grade students who score below basic standard require interventions that focus on word recognition, phonological decoding, and fluency. Before such mandates for at middle grades beyond are enacted, available information ORF a...
