Title: “Annotated Bibliography of Research in the Teaching of English.” RL Larson and AL Saks. Research in the Teaching of English (May 1993), 200-214.

Summaries: reading remediation: remedial reading students who published newspapers scored significantly higher in a reading comprehension test. RP Carter, 1991, p. 202. ………. lecture recall: Students who summarized, recalled short-term content. Self-questioning [turning notes into questions] did somewhat better in delayed recall. A King.1992, p. 203. ………. titles and comprehension: suggests that a title supplies the key components in a reader’s ability to interpret text and that a title that is too vague, general or inadequate to the main idea of the texts extends reading time and affects comprehension. T Slama-Cazacu, 1991, p. 203.
