Story Retelling Used with Average and Learning Disabled Readers as a Measure of Reading Comprehension
Cheryl L. Hansen · Learning Disability Quarterly · 1978
While a considerable amount of research has been conducted on learning disabled populations to determine their ability to decode and learn words in isolation, limited research has addressed the reading comprehension of LD populations. Hansen used a method for quantifying story retells, called proposition analysis, to study the comprehension performances of learning disabled and average readers. Proposition analysis is presented as an alternative to questioning students when evaluating their reading comprehension.
