|
Objectives: This study intended to find out the developmental characteristics of reading fluency and reading comprehension according to reading methods (oral reading and silent reading) with elementary school children.
Methods: The participants of this study were a total of 48 children in 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade in elementary schools. Four texts were selected as study tools, including two narrative texts and two expository texts. Reading methods were divided into silent and oral reading to study reading fluency, and children were asked to answer to reading comprehension assessment questions.
Results: First, as the grade level increased, reading fluency capability also increased. There were significant differences between the 1st and 5th grade groups and the 3rd and 5th grade groups. According to reading methods, a higher capability in silent reading was exhibited when compared to oral reading. However no interaction effect was shown between groups and reading methods. Second, as the grade level increased, reading comprehension increased, and there were significant differences between 1st and 3rd grade and 1st and 5th grade. When comparing reading methods, the children showed a higher capability in oral reading than silent reading. But no interaction effect was shown between groups and reading methods.
Conclusion: This study found that reading fluency and reading comprehension capability develops as grade level increases, and reading comprehension capability was found to be higher in oral reading than silent reading.
