교사가 이야기책을 반복하여 읽어주는 (a multiple reading) 과정에서 아동이 새로운 단어에 해당하는 그림을 보고 그 단어를 명명하게 하는 (a labeling strategy) 읽기 방법이 아동의 어휘획득에 연령과 경험에 따라 차별적인 효과를 가져오는가, 또한 동일한 읽기 방법이 그룹 상황에 적용되었을 때 일대일 상황에서 얻어지는 효과와 같은 효율성을 갖는가의 문제가 각각의 실험에서 다루어졌다. 양 실험에서 각 연령 (4, 5세) 집단은 그림 어휘력 검사의 표준 점수 결과를 기준으로 하여, 상 하 두 어휘력 집단으로 나뉘어졌다. 아동이 설정된 새로운 단어를 획득한 결과는 comprehensive와 productive 어휘력 검사를 통해 측정되었다. 첫 번째 실험에서 4세와 5세 아동들은 각 연령 집단에서 교사가 일 대 일로 이야기책을 읽어줄 때, 수동적으로 듣거나 또는 설정된 단어에 해당하는 그림을 보며 직접 명명할 수 있었다. 두 번째 실험에서는 첫 번째 실험에 참여한 4세 아동들이 같은 읽기 방법으로 그룹 상황에서 읽혀졌다. 첫 번째 실험 결과, 새로운 단어를 comprehend 하고 produce 하는데 5세 아동이 4세 아동 보다 나은 기제를 갖고 있는지는 분명히 밝혀지지 않았다. 결과를 통해 분명하게 밝혀진 것은 이야기책이 읽혀지는 동안 얻어지는 comprehensive 어휘와 productive 어휘에는 차이가 있다는 것이다. 아동들은, 특히 어릴수록, 새로운 단어를 comprehend 하는데 있어서는 labeling strategy의 효과를 보지 못한 반면, 단어를 produce 하는데 있어서는 동일한 방법이 단순한 반복 읽기 보다 효과적이었다. 덧붙여, 어휘력에 있어 상위 집단에 속한 아동이 하위 집단에 속한 아동 보다 더 많은 단어를 comprehend 하고 produce 한다는 점을 확인시켰다. 두 번째 실험 결과는 그룹 상황에서 4세 아동에게 이야기책을 읽어줌으로써 새로운 단어를 획득하게 할 수 있다는 것을 보여 주었다. 사용된 labeling strategy는 특히 productive 어휘 획득에 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 일대일 상황에서 뿐 아니라 그룹 상황에서도 중요한 요소로 보였다. 덧붙여, productive 어휘 획득에 있어서 labeling strategy의 효과는 어휘력에 있어 하위 집단에 속한 아동에게는 상황에 따라 다른 결과를 가져왔다. 즉, labeling strategy의 효과에 있어서 하위 집단의 아동들은 그룹보다 일대일 상황에서 productive 어휘를 더 많이 획득했다. 연구결과, productive 어휘력 발달을 위하여 교사는 일대일 책읽기 뿐 아니라 그룹 책 읽기에서도 labeling strategy를 사용하는 것을 고려해야 하며, 비교적 적은 어휘력을 갖고 있는 아동에게는 일대일 상황에서 labeling strategy를 사용하여 이야기책을 읽어주는 시간을 할당할 것을 제시했다.

Formulaic sequences are continuous or discontinuous series of words that are seemingly treated like single units. Formulaic sequences play a key role in language development, and formulaic sequences acquisition determines the success or failure of language development. This study proposes a reading aloud activity as a way for international students to learn formulaic sequences. A class focused on reading aloud was conducted with 41 international students taking a general English course at a university in Seoul. For 15 weeks, video lectures and real-time Zoom classes were conducted in parallel. The animated film Frozen was used as course material. In the video lectures, the teacher interpreted the movie script in easy Korean and read aloud formulaic sequences. Students were tasked with reading the sentences with formulaic sequences aloud, recording themselves reading aloud, and submitting their recordings. During real-time class meetings, students performed the activity of reading aloud the formulaic sequences they had studied in the video lectures. There was a significant increase in the interpretation and sentence writing of formulaic sequences in participants' post-evaluation compared to the pre-evaluation. Through the study's survey, students exhibited positive views in the affective domains.

This study analyzed various factors of reading motivation and motivational differences between grades and gender. An urban sample of first-, third- and fifth- grade children completed the Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ; Wigfield & Guthrie, 1997). The MRQ assesses such possible factors of reading motivation as self-efficacy, intrinsic-extrinsic reading motives, and social aspects of reading. Factor analyses and cronbach's ${\alpha}$ demonstrated that 10 factors of children's reading motivation could be identified and measured reliably. Mean scores on most of the factors differed by grade and gender, with girls and lower grades reporting stronger motivation. This study found that children's reading motivation is various and decreases as children mature. Various efforts to encourage children's motivation for reading are suggested in this study.

The present study tested a multivariate model of direct and indirect influences of family Socioeconomic Status (SES) on children's early reading skills at kindergarten entry. The data used here are from one of the largest national databases in the USA, the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten cohort (ECLS-K). Utilizing structural equation modeling, the results revealed that a number of factors within parental characteristics, home practices, and SES come together to influence children's early reading skills. SES operated primarily indirectly through home literacy activities and also directly in influencing reading. In addition, parental beliefs about kindergarten readiness mediated the relation between SES and home literacy activities. Thus, SES influenced early reading directly and indirectly, through home literacy activities, and simultaneously, through parental beliefs, which in turn, were associated with home literacy activities that were directly associated with children's reading. The findings emphasized the multiple pathways through which SES is associated with children's reading and the need to search for other mediators of SES influence.

This study was aimed to compare teacher's and mother's literacy beliefs, perception of picture books, and frequency of reading activities, and examine how these variables affect the interaction for reading picture books with preschoolers. The results of the survey from 120 teachers and 168 mothers who have 5-year-olds in Gyeonggi-do and Incheon-si are as follows. Teachers' literacy beliefs were closer to whole language beliefs than were mothers'. Teachers and mothers both fully realized the importance of reading aloud picture books to children with no difference between each other. The level of teachers was higher than mothers' in terms of pleasure of reading picture books. Mothers thought that it is important to reflect on preschoolers' development level, individual conditions, and daily lives when choosing picture books. On the other hand, teachers believed that the popularity of the book is more important. Overall, teachers perceived more benefits of reading picture books than mothers. Mothers reported more extensive interaction when reading books with preschoolers than teachers, while teachers spent more time on reading activities with preschoolers than mothers. Teachers' and mothers' frequency of reading activities and perception about the benefits of reading picture books had effects on their interaction for reading picture books with preschoolers.

This study was to investigate special education teachers' teaching in reading and writing to university students with intellectual disabilities. For this study, we surveyed 71special education teachers who work in Gwangju, Daegu and Busan. As a result, in order to identify students' reading and writing abilities, they were more likely to use their own tests which they made for themselves than standardized tests. When teaching students, they used their own teaching experiences and advices from colleagues and senior teachers regarding problem-solving methods and reliable information while the knowledge they learned at school showed low frequency in use. Despite using mainly whole-word approach when instructing reading and writing, it appeared that teachers' teaching experiences and diversity of textbooks also have an influence. Regarding needs of education participation for teaching students, there were high needs and interests in teaching methods of writing, textbooks and teaching materials by the characteristics of disability, reading and writing development, reading and writing disabilities. In case of difficulties and needs in teaching students, there was a high demand of development of a wide variety of teaching materials and tools and, preparation for sufficient textbooks and test tools, while difficulties in teaching appeared in lack of knowledge about reading and writing, lack of screening/evaluating tools, and evaluating and teaching oriented to each disability characteristic.
