Citations in the corpus
- A Cognitive View of Reading Comprehension: Implications for Reading Difficulties (2014, background): “…both content knowledge (e.g., when a ball hits a window, the window is likely to break) and knowledge about text structures (e.g., narratives usually begin with a setting and problem and end with some resolution; different types of informational texts have different structures; see Duke (2004).”
- The Effects of an Intensive Shared Book-Reading Intervention for Preschool Children at Risk for Vocabulary Delay (2011, background): “…texts provide frequent exposure to a topical theme, this text genre is highly appropriate for conveying factual information about the social or natural world and allows teachers to make connections among books, new vocabulary knowledge, and children’s lives (Dickinson, 2001; Duke, 2000, 2004).”
- Interactive Read-Alouds—An Avenue for Enhancing Children’s Language for Thinking and Understanding: A Review of Recent Research (2013, background): “Despite this, research reveals that teachers are most likely to limit their choices to narrative storybooks (Duke 2004, 2007; Pentimonti et al. 2010, 2011; Price et al. 2012; Yopp and Yopp 2006).”
- Scaffolding English Language Learners and Struggling Readers in a Universal Literacy Environment with Embedded Strategy Instruction and Vocabulary Support (2007, background): “One final area of future research concerns the distinctive comprehension demands of reading in informational versus narrative format (Duke, 2004).”
- Reading Into the Future: Competence for the 21st Century (2012, background): “…a relatively recent initiative to bring informational texts to early readers (and this is acknowledged in the CCSS, 2010), with a strong part of the rationale being the desirability of exposure to the variety of text structure and features present in informational texts (Duke, 2004; Pappas, 2006).”
