Children's Problems in Text Comprehension Paperback: An Experimental Investigation (Cambridge Monographs and Texts in Applied Psycholinguistics) - Softcover

Although some young children can read aloud with apparent fluency, they fail to understand fully or remember connected discourse. The authors of this 1991 work observed that teachers usually monitored reading ability by listening to children read aloud, or by using reading tests that concentrate on word recognition skills. Thus, comprehension problems could go unnoticed.
