This study investigated two methods of segmenting text based upon phrase boundaries, in an attempt to make social studies textbooks more readable for elementary school children. A pausal phrase format, a syntactic phrase format, and a standard prose format were administered to 648 grade four and grade seven students. The results indicated that phrasing the passages for the participants improved their reading comprehension approximately one level. That is, poor readers reading phrased passages read as well as average readers normally do, and average readers reading phrased passages read almost as well as good readers normally read. There were no interactions with Text Segmentation, indicating that Text Segmentation is facilitative for all children when reading passages at or above grade level. Further research is necessary to evaluate the effects of teacher assistance on these findings, and the effects of Text Segmentation on reading very easy passages. |
