Examines discourse conflicts between the structure of written text and the oral expectations of young readers. Twenty-eight second grade students read and retold two stories: one with oral and one with written discourse structures. ANOVA results suggest that written discourse stories were more difficult to comprehend. In addition, an interaction appeared between familiarity with written discourse structures and comprehension of the two story versions. As familiarity with written discourse structures increased, the interference effect on reading comprehension decreased. Oral reading error results paralleled these findings, suggesting that expectations based on a knowledge of oral discourse structures may, in some cases, actually interfere with the reading comprehension of young readers.

The study reports the effects of English video clips with and without peer support on young learners’ oral reading production skill.  Using quasi experiment with pre-and-post test design, this study assigned 44 students of SMPN 8 Banda Aceh selected at random. The sample was divided into two groups each of which received the same video clips downloaded from YouTube. Group one worked with peer support on their own choice partners and group two worked without peer support. Tape recorder was used in the pre and posttest to record students’ oral reading skill. To analyze the data, one way ANOVA was used.  The result found that the peer support strategy significantly improved oral production in reading for phrasing, pausing, stressing, intonation, and rate. In summary, English video clips with peer support improves oral reading production.

Reading plays an important part in developing learners’ knowledge. By reading, learners will get many benefits, such as adding their knowledge, knowing information and having pleasure. There are many ways of making them engaged in learning English especially reading skill. One kind of activities is using Readers’ theatre.  RT was introduced in EFL classroom to enhance the learning of communication skills. Readers’ theater offers learners’ an opportunity for interpretive oral reading as they use voices, facial expressions, and hand gestures to interpret characters in stories. Readers’ theater also builds readers’ confidence, brings stories to life through performance, animates content areas, and improves reading ability, comprehension, and oral reading skills.

The existence of a necessary association between phonological awareness (PA) and oral reading development has been questioned using evidence from children with Down syndrome. In this study, 22 children with Down syndrome (between the ages of 6;7 and 10;3) initially completed tests of receptive language, cognitive function, oral reading, and PA. Reading and PA were reassessed approximately 9 months later. Better oral reading was associated with superior phoneme segmentation skills on reassessment. Furthermore, there was some evidence that early segmentation ability predicted later nonword reading, but not the reverse. The results indicate an association between PA and early oral reading ability in children with Down syndrome and are interpreted within a theoretical view of reading development in which PA plays a central role.

Oral reading tasks and Maze reading tasks are often used interchangeably to assess the level and rate of reading skill development. This study examined the concurrent validity of growth estimates derived from Curriculum-Based Measurement of Oral Reading (CBM-R) and Maze Reading (CBM-mR). Participants were 1,528 students from Grades 3 to 8. CBM-R and CBM-mR were administered in fall, winter, and spring. Results indicate that CBM-R growth estimates are not correlated with CBM-mR growth estimates as derived with bivariate latent growth modeling (BLGM). In addition, results indicate that CBM growth estimates do not contribute to predictions of student performance on statewide assessments. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
