Investigating Interactions Among Component Reading Skills in Struggling Adult Readers

EasyChair Preprint 3812

Abstract

A large portion of adults struggle to read at a basic level. While foundational component reading skills (e.g., decoding, vocabulary, morphology, sentence processing) are known to account for a large portion of variance in reading comprehension, this study used the Reading Systems Framework to explore potential interactions between component reading skills. Results suggest that word-level processes interact with lexical knowledge in predicting comprehension among struggling adult readers.

Keyphrases: adult literacy, lexical knowledge, reading system framework, struggling readers, text comprehension
