This article reports an intervention of sustained silent reading (SSR) and higher-order questioning (HOQ) with 5th graders. It applied a quasi-experimental research design consisting of two experimental and one control group. SSR and HOQ were conducted in one experimental group, and the other experimental group received only SSR, while the control group received neither of the two interventions. Results of the study showed that the SSR with HOQ group achieved more significant gains than the SSR group and the control group in reading comprehension, motivation, and frequency. This research offers indispensable data on elementary students’reading literacy and provides evidence that a combination of SSR and HOQ has great potential to address learner development in this area. |
