碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 特殊教育學系 === 95 === The purpose of this study was to examine which of the 3 formulae derived from the Simple View of Reading would explain the relation between decoding, language comprehension and reading comprehension the most. The other purpose was to investigate the fitness of addition of the word fluency in the Simple View of Reading. There were 931 students from the third to eighth grades in Taiwan. The poor readers will be selected by the reading comprehension test scored below percentile 25th. Participants were given a battery of tests including decoding, listening comprehension and reading comprehension tests. The data was analyzed by Pearson product-moment correlation, simple regression analysis, multiple regression analysis and moderated regression analysis. The results of this study were summarized as follows: 1.All of the formulae accounted for the variance of reading comprehension of all students and the poor readers significantly. The results support R=DxL to be the best formulae of three. 2.From the Simple View of Reading, the results show that the correlations between decoding, listening comprehension and reading comprehension increase by grade. 3.Poor readers are classified into four subtypes by decoding and language comprehension. The biggest sub-group of four is the garden-variety poor readers who are poor in both decoding and comprehension. The subtypes of the poor decoders and the poor comprehendors were getting less and less by grade. 4.The correlation between fluency and reading comprehension is rather high, but fluency itself was not a significant independent predictor. Thus, fluency is unable to be a single variable in the formula of Simple View of Reading. According the findings, the limitations of this study and the recommendations to further research and practical implementations were made.
