Question: How can one improve vocabulary and comprehension in a reading program?
Answer: “Found that college students whose reading instruction included a writing component improved more on vocabulary and comprehension measures than students whose reading instruction did not include writing.” MM Culp and S Spann. 1984. P. 186.
Comment: That’s a pretty broad conclusion, raising all kinds of questions. Still, if the writing included responses to the reading material, it makes some sense. RayS.
