Characteristics and Validity of an Instrument for Assessing Motivations for Online Reading to Learn
Motivation for reading is important to comprehension and has been studied extensively in offline reading contexts. However, little is known about the role of motivation in online reading, a new and increasingly important context for reading, largely because of a lack of valid and reliable instruments to estimate a student’s motivation for online reading. The authors report on the development of the Motivations for Online Reading Questionnaire (MO…
Effects of Classroom Practices on Reading Comprehension, Engagement, and Motivations for Adolescents
We investigated the roles of classroom supports for multiple motivations and engagement in students' informational text comprehension, motivation, and engagement. A composite of classroom contextual variables consisting of instructional support for choice, importance, collaboration, and competence, accompanied by cognitive scaffolding for informational text comprehension, was provided in four‐week instructional units for 615 grade 7 students. The…
Modeling the Relationships Among Reading Instruction, Motivation, Engagement, and Achievement for Adolescents
This study modeled the interrelationships of reading instruction, motivation, engagement, and achievement in two contexts, employing data from 1,159 seventh graders. In the traditional reading/language arts (R/LA) context, all students participated in traditional R/LA instruction. In the intervention R/LA context, 854 students from the full sample received Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) while the remainder continued to receive tradit…
Instructional Contexts for Engagement and Achievement in Reading
Relationships of three components of reading fluency to reading comprehension.
This study examined the relationships of 3 levels of reading fluency--the individual word, the syntactic unit, and the whole passage--to reading comprehension among 278 5th 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 inferencing skill and background knowledge. The study suppor…
Increasing Reading Comprehension and Engagement Through Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction.
Based on an engagement perspective of reading development, we investigated the extent to which an instructional framework of combining motivation support and strategy instruction (Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction—CORI) influenced reading outcomes for third-grade children. In CORI, five motivational practices were integrated with six cognitive strategies for reading comprehension. In the first study, we compared this framework to an instructio…

Motivating Struggling Readers in Middle School Through an Engagement Model of Classroom Practice
Many struggling readers in middle school are disengaged from reading. In addition to low achievement, these students can have low motivation for reading. Many factors contribute to disengagement in middle school. Reading instruction is often disconnected from content, making reading tedious. Textbooks are formidable, and students are expected to respond to text with formal criticism or outlining rather than personal reactions. Middle school often…

Motivational and Cognitive Predictors of Text Comprehension and Reading Amount
Motivational variables contribute to reading achievement and text comprehension through several paths. We report the results of 2 studies further examining these relations. Study 1 included 3rd and 5th graders. We measured their motivation and reading amount with questionnaires and their text comprehension with 2 performance tests. Results revealed that reading amount significantly predicted text comprehension on 2 different indicators, even when…
Relations of children's motivation for reading to the amount and breadth or their reading.
The authors explored different aspects of children's reading motivation and how children's motivation related to the amount and breadth of their reading. The reading motives assessed included self-efficacy, intrinsic-extrinsic motivation and goals, and social aspects. Fourth- and 5th-grade children (N = 105) completed a new reading motivation questionnaire twice during a school year. Children's reading amount and breadth were measured using diari…
Growth of Literacy Engagement
S This study describes changes in literacy engagement during 1 year of Concept‐Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI), a new approach to teaching reading, writing, and science. Literacy engagement was defined as the integration of intrinsic motivations, cognitive strategies, and conceptual learning from text. To promote literacy engagement in classrooms, our team designed and implemented CORI in two third‐ and two fifth‐grade classrooms in two schoo…

Locating Information in Documents
READING DOCUMENTS to locate specific information is a challenge to young adults as well as children. According to the 1986 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), about 50% of high school graduates fail tasks that require matching three elements in a question with three elements in a corresponding document, such as a plane schedule. A task analysis of such items shows that performance depends heavily on analytical reasoning. A cogniti…

Antonius Arena (Antoine Arene) was born at Soliers, now Sollies-Pont, not far from Toulouse in the Department of Var, about 1500, apparently into a landed family with some professional connections (one uncle was a doctor of medicine). He studied law at the University of Avignon, matriculating probably in 1519, and eight years later, the customary lengthy law studies, interrupted in 1521 by an outbreak of plague in Provence, must have been complet…
Convergence and Divergence in Reader Response to Literature
THE PURPOSE of this study was to examine commonality and variation in reader response to a short story. Sixty-three ninth-grade students read a short story and selected preferred responses in four categories: reader beliefs, reader empathy, text events, and text conflict. An analysis of frequency patterns indicated a high degree of agreement on reader beliefs and text events. Variation in response occurred in the categories of reader empathy and …
Effects of Education, Occupation, and Setting on Reading Practices
Reading activities contribute to individual and societal development, according to qualitative studies. Hypotheses regarding the social contexts of reading activities were tested in two studies. Social context was operationalized in terms of educational environment, occupational category, and the settings of work and leisure. Significant three-way interactions were found between (a) education, setting, and the contents (subject matters) of readin…
Prose Comprehension and Text Search as a Function of Reading Volume
INFORMAL INTERVIEWS and observations were used to obtain information regarding frequently occurring reading tasks among adults in work and leisure settings. Based on these data, two types of reading-text search and prose comprehension-were proposed. A two-stage information processing model for text search was developed and contrasted with prose comprehension models of reading. Background information, performance, and reading volume measures were …

Reading in New Zealand
READING COMPREHENSION OF STUDENTS in two age groups, 14 and 18, is compared for three countries. Based on IEA data reanalyzed by Purves, the following rank order occurs: New Zealand, United States, Iran. The concept of reading volume is proposed as an indicator of the quantity of reading among adults and students to account partially for these differences among countries. A metric is devised for reading volume, based on the number of copies (of n…

Reading Ability and Efficiency of Graphemic-Phonemic Encoding
It was hypothesized that children with a specific reading disability differ from children of normal reading ability because the former are impaired in extracting speech-like representations from graphemes. Three groups of 12 each of grade school boys and girls participated in timed word comparison tasks which required a "same-different" response. One group was specifically reading deficient, the other groups were matched either on age or on readi…
