This study examines the relation of language arts instruction to students’ letter-word reading skill growth from the beginning of 1st grade to the end of 2nd grade using cross-classified random effects models. Amounts of teacher-managed, code-focused instruction in 1st and 2nd grade each uniquely predicted students’ letter-word reading skill growth; plus, there were child-by-instruction interac...

Although it is largely agreed that phonological processing deficits are a major cause of poor reading, the neural origins of phonological processing are not well understood. We now show, for the first time, that phonological decoding, measured with a test of single-nonword reading, is significantly correlated with the timing of subcortical auditory processing and also, to a lesser extent, with ...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of gender and Schema-based pre-reading activities on the Iranian EFL learners’ reading comprehension. The sample consisted of 60 male and female students studying at second-grade high school in Abhar city. Two reading passages (“Charles Dickens and the Little Children”, and “Hic, Hic, Hic”) were randomly selected from second-grade English textb...

This study aims to improve student's reading skills in class. It was through the application of Reciprocal Teaching Strategy. Creating teaching activities Reading helps create more profound and meaningful learning. The students were very enthusiastic about understanding text because they cooperated groups summarize discuss contents text. Each group member has an equal opportunity read, summariz...

World wide communication, technology, politics, literature, agriculture science mostly used English as the language. Reading an important activity every enables people find out information from variety texts, written or printed newspape...

Reading comprehension is a challenging task in natural language processing and requires a set of skills to be solved. While current approaches focus on solving the task as a whole, in this paper, we propose to use a neural network ‘skill’ transfer approach. We transfer knowledge from several lower-level language tasks (skills) including textual entailment, named entity recognition, paraphrase d...
