Present study was conducted to explore the effect of productive reading habit (PRH) and construal of reading on reading performance, and to identify any psychological differences between those who read continuously and those who do not. For this purpose, 309 adolescents were divided into a group with a lowly level of productive reading habit(PRH) and a group with a highly level of PRH, and a concrete(why) versus abstract(how) construal of reading were primed, and reading performance were investigated for 6 weeks. After that, chi-square analysis and analysis of variance were performed on the collected data. As a result, the group with highly PRH had more days of reading and longer total reading time than the group with lowly PRH. Also, in the group with a highly PRH, the number of days of reading and reading time did not differ according to the construal of reading. On the other hand, the group with a lowly PRH had more reading days and a longer total reading time under the condition of concrete construal of reading than the condition of abstract construal. This study shows that a concrete construal can be helpful in enabling people with lowly productive habit(PH) to initiate a task and maintain concentration to the task.

The purpose of this study is to research the effects of English reading strategies on English reading comprehension by Korean college students. Reading strategy use was assessed through Oxford's self-report questionnaire in reading strategies. This study has three research questions. The first question was to investigate some reading strategies used by college students. The second question was to investigate the differences in reading strategies between two groups in gender. The third question was to investigate the differences in reading strategies of three college student groups according to their English proficiency estimated by reading scores. Some major findings of this study are as follows. First, college English learners use memory strategies most frequently of the six strategies, while using metacognitive strategies least frequently. Second, there exists a significant difference in reading strategies between the gender group. Third, there also exists a significant difference in reading strategies among the three groups divided according to English proficiency. This study shows that students' reading ability can be strengthened and motivated by some reading strategies in reading practice. It also means that it is necessary for English teachers to take into consideration the reading strategies suitable for the students in their reading classes.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate grandmothers' verbal and nonverbal behaviors during young grandchildren-grandmother picture book reading. Methods: Participants were fifty-two children aged 22-42 months and their grandmothers. The researcher visited participating children's homes or child care centers and videotaped grandchildren-grandmother book reading activities. Each grandmother read two picture books for each observation. Grandmother surveys were administered after the reading activities. Parent surveys were completed by parents and were returned to the researcher. Results: First, grandmothers began reading picture books to grandchildren when children were 6 to 11-months-old or 12 to 17-months-old. They spent 5 to 10 minutes or 10 to 15 minutes at a time reading books. Second, grandmothers' most frequent verbal behavior during young grandchildren-grandmother picture book reading was 'explaining,' followed by 'questioning,' and 'providing feedback,' in that order. Grandmothers' MLU-eojeol during grandchildren-grandmother reading was 2.56. Their most frequently used nonverbal behavior was 'pointing,' followed by 'gestures.' Lastly, there was a significant difference in grandmothers' verbal and nonverbal behaviors during grandchildren-grandmother reading, depending on the grandmothers' characteristics. Conclusion/Implications: Grandmothers use various verbal and nonverbal behaviors during grandchildren-grandmother picture book reading activities, and there are significant differences in grandmothers' verbal and nonverbal behaviors with grandchildren based on grandmothers' characteristics.

The 2015 revised curriculum aims to cultivate creative convergence talent. In this regard, SW education needs to study various convergence education methods to enhance computational thinking. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of SW convergence education centered on reading education and robot utilization education to improve computing thinking ability. For this purpose, SW education teaching and learning was designed by combining SW education using card coding-based robots with reading education based on interactive works and reading on the whole work. As a result, the convergence education between reading and SW improved all three areas of the concept, practice, and perspective of computational thinking ability and increased the learner's satisfaction.

The primary purpose of this study is to analyze the learning activities of "the Reading a Book per Semester" with the goal of finding ways to collaborate with the school library. "the Reading a Book per Semester" is a program that requires students to read during the timetable-designated "Korean" class instead of encouraging students to read outside of class, as has been the case thus far. The program was designed by 3 parts: reading, sharing, and formulating. However, an analysis of 11 Korean textbooks and 22 approaches to the program showed that the model has shifted to . Under this new model, schools could expand each step in the following ways: utilize the school libraries more as the book search space during the selection process; include writing a reading diary in the reading process; and further encourage students to read outside of the classrooms in the formulating step. If these amendments were to be applied, they would strengthen the educational purpose of the school libraries within schools.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of semantic mapping as a science text reading strategy on high school students' inferential understanding. For this purpose, eight science text reading classes were conducted a reading strategy using semantic mapping for 46 students in two science-focused classes in the third grade of a high school. To investigate the effects of semantic mapping reading strategy on students' inferential comprehension, students' pre- and post-reading ability tests results were analyzed. In order to find out the change in inferential comprehension, the level of the inferential comprehension was analyzed using the analysis framework for developed in this study. For the classification of inferential comprehension, the levels of the inferential comprehension were converted into scores. The results of the analysis of changes in students' inferential comprehension showed that semantic mapping reading strategy classes influenced the changes in high school students' inference, especially bridge inference and elaborative inference among sub-elements of inferential comprehension.
