Abstract

The purpose of this research study was to determine whether students who were taught specific research‐based strategies using a transactional strategies instruction (TSI) approach (Pressley, El‐Dinary, Gaskins, Schuder, Bergman, Almasi, & Brown, 1992) would (a) improve in comprehension achievement, and (b) be more engaged during reading groups. Thirty‐two fourth graders participated in an 8‐week experiment. The treatment group was taught four comprehension strategies‐‐predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing‐‐following the TSI approach. The comparison group was conducted as a traditional reading group. Qualitative and quantitative data collected include: pre/post interviews, videotaped reading sessions, response journals, and scores on the comprehension section of the California Achievement Test, pretest/Form E, and posttest/Form F. The findings favor the strategies treatment and include observations of greater focus and engagement during reading groups, improved knowledge and use of strategies, and improved achievement in comprehension.
