An Investigation of Five Basic Reading Programs at the Third Grade Level for Instruction in Contextual and Structural Clue Techniques of Word-Meaning Attack

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine five basic reading programs at the third grade level to identify instructional lessons presented in two categories of context clues and three types of structural clues. The two categories of contextual clues were word clues and typographical clues. The three types of structural clues were prefixes, suffixes, and inflectional endings. Identification of the variety of clues and frequency of clue lessons in each textbook series and the similarities and differences in presentation among series was also considered an important part of the purpose for this study.
