Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of written prequestioning on the reading comprehension scores of fifth graders in Orleans County, Vermont. To evaluate the effect of prequestions, the Sequential Tests of Educational Progress - Reading, Form 4A was adapted into two different forms, one with questions and/or incomplete statements before and after the passages of the test and one with only questions and/or incomplete statements at the end of each passage. The questions and/or incomplete statements placed before the passages were the same questions and/or incomplete statements placed at the end of passages on both forms.
