- The Impact of Vocabulary Instruction on Passage-Level Comprehension of School-Age Children: A Meta-Analysis (2009, background): “Expository texts often contain a higher proportion of context-specific words that are salient to the content presented and are therefore considered more difficult than narrative texts (see Gardner, 2004; Graesser, Golding, & Long, 1991; Wolfe, 2005).”
- Inferential comprehension differences between narrative and expository texts: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2020, background): “Although these are important measures for reading performance, there are many text characteristics that are known to differ by genre (e.g., pronoun use, van Hell et al., 2005; connectives; van Silfhout et al., 2015; vocabulary; Gardner, 2004) that may be important in inferential comprehension.”
- What You Read Matters: The Role of Fiction Genre in Predicting Interpersonal Sensitivity (2013, background): “Narrative fiction and expository nonfiction differ with regard to language (Argamon et al., 2003) as well as structure and content (Gardner, 2004).”
- The relationship between vocabulary and writing quality in three genres (2012, background): “In comparison, published text for fifth-grade students included 0.8 % academic words in narrative text, and 2.7 % academic words in expository text (Gardner, 2004).”
