Originating in a recent CIERA conference held at the University of
Michigan, this book brings together the nation's most distinguished
researchers to examine how readers understand text and how
comprehension is assessed. The first part provides both national
and historical contexts for the study of reading comprehension. The
second part examines how vocabulary, motivation, and expertise
influence comprehension, and it includes analyses of the
developmental course and correlates of comprehension. Chapters in
the third part consider how schools focus on comprehension for
instruction and assessment. The fourth part includes chapters on
large-scale assessment that analyze how test formats and
psychometric characteristics influence measures of reading
comprehension. At the end of each part is a commentary--written by
an expert--that reviews the chapters, critiques the main points,
and synthesizes critical issues. Key features of this outstanding
new book include: *Integration of Research and Practice--provides a
bridge between conceptual issues studied by researchers concerned
with reading comprehension theories and practical issues addressed
by educators concerned with classroom instruction and assessment.
*Comprehension Focus--provides a thorough history and rigorous
research-based analyses of reading comprehension. *Assessment
Focus--provides innovative approaches to comprehension assessment
that include the influences of vocabulary, decoding, and
motivation. *Synthetic Commentaries--provides periodic summaries
that analyze and synthesize research, practices, and issues
discussed in each part. *Expertise--contributing authors and
commentators are highly respected authorities on reading
comprehension (see table of contents). This text is appropriate for
educational and psychological researchers, reading educators, and
graduate students in education and psychology. It is part of the
CIERA series, which includes the following volumes: Taylor and
Pearson: Teaching Reading: Effective Schools, Accomplished Teachers
(2002) Van Kleeck, Stahl, and Bauer: On Reading Books to Children:
Parents and Teachers (2003) Hoffman and Schallert: The Texts in
Elementary Classrooms (2005)
