Language deficits in poor comprehenders: a case for the simple view of reading. (2006, background): “changing nature of reading comprehension (Francis et al., 2005; Gough et al., 1996).”
Examining the role of vocabulary depth, cross-linguistic transfer, and types of reading measures on the reading comprehension of Latino bilinguals in elementary school (2013, background): “Francis et al. (2006) hypothesized that the WJLPB-R PC is heavily affected by print related skills and tested whether the DARC and WJLB-R PC are two distinct measures of reading comprehension.”
Reading Comprehension Tests Vary in the Skills They Assess: Differential Dependence on Decoding and Oral Comprehension (2008, background): “In addition, because there is the suggestion from Nation and Snowling (1997) and Francis et al. (2005) that tests using a cloze format may be more influenced by decoding skill than other comprehension tests, it is important to examine additional tests to try to provide further insight into this…”
Hierarchical and dynamic relations of language and cognitive skills to reading comprehension: Testing the direct and indirect effects model of reading (DIER). (2019, result): “…as a function of text characteristics is in line with work on measurement of comprehension (Cutting & Scarborough, 2006; Francis, Fletcher, Catts, & Tomblin, 2005; Keenan, Betjemann, & Olson, 2008) and with recent recognition of text characteristics in reading comprehension (Francis et al., 2018).”
Prediction of Reading Comprehension: Relative Contributions of Word Recognition, Language Proficiency, and Other Cognitive Skills Can Depend on How Comprehension Is Measured (2006, background): “Similarly, Francis et al. (2005) found, using latent variable modeling techniques, a stronger relationship between decoding and a cloze test than for comprehension measures that used silent or oral passage reading with multiple-choice questions (both of which had a stronger relationship with…”
