Student Responses to Reading Strategies Instruction

Abstract

ABSTRACT Researchers have identified strategies used by successful readers and have developed approaches to impart this information to students. After determining the current reading practices used by Spanish learners, a fourth‐ and fifth‐semester college Spanish class received instruction in recommended strategies using articles from contemporary Spanish language magazines. Students then ranked the strategies they found most helpful. No single strategy was chosen by an overwhelming majority of students; indeed, seven of the eleven strategies were ranked as most useful by some students. However, a mean ranking revealed that instruction in skimming and word guessing proved most useful to students.
