University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor
INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of die original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

And Others TITLE the Dolch Basic Sight Vocabulary Investigation: a Replication and Validation
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 094 329 CS 001 219 AUTHOR Johns, Jerry L.; And Others TITLE The Dolch Basic Sight Vocabulary Investigation: A Replication and Validation. PUB DATE 74 NOTE 30p.; Research study done at the Reading Clinic, Northern Illinois University EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$1.85 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS Basic Reading; *Beginning Reading; Readability; Reading; Reading Materials; *Reading Research; Reading Skills; *Sight Vocabulary; *Word Lists IDENTIFIERS *Dolch Word List ABSTRACT This study replicated and validated the Dolch basic sight vocabulary investigation. Dolch's method of compiling his list of 95 nouns was also replicated. Some discrepancies were found between the replication study and Dolch's investigations--a few words were left off the lists, although they apparently met all ..he criteria for inclusion, and a lack of consistency was noted in Dolch's choices for including words or his lists. It was concluded that pseudo-empirical is a correct description of Dolch's method in compiling his basic sight vocabulary. It was also determined that this list is still viable since it accounts for over 50 percent of the words currently used in reading materials for both children and adults.

Comparing the Dolch and Fry High Frequency Word Lists by Linda Farrell, Tina Osenga, and Michael Hunter Founding Partners, Readsters
Comparing the Dolch and Fry High Frequency Word Lists by Linda Farrell, Tina Osenga, and Michael Hunter Founding Partners, Readsters Most elementary school teachers in the U.S. are familiar with the Dolch and Fry high frequency word lists. Much energy is put into teaching high frequency words to beginning and struggling readers. At some schools, a great deal of effort goes into determining which high frequency word list is best to use. Certainly, students need extensive practice reading and spelling high frequency words. However, which list of high frequency words used does not matter because the highest frequency words appear on both lists. It is our opinion that high frequency words should NOT be taught as a separate category of words to be memorized, but should be taught as part of phonics lessons (Farrell, Osenga, & Hunter, 2013). The Dolch list has 220 words (Dolch 220 List). We refer to the 100 most frequent Dolch Words as the “Dolch 100 List”. Fry calls his list of 1000 high frequency words “Instant Words” (Fry 1000 Instant Word List). Subsets of words from the Fry 1000 Instant Word List are often referred to as the “Fry 100 List”, the “Fry 300 List”, or the “Fry 600 List”, and we use those terms in this article. The Dolch and Fry lists are virtually synonymous with the terms “sight words” and “high frequency words”. Many schools use words from either the Dolch 220 List or the Fry 300 List as their source for high frequency words to teach. In almost every school, K–2 teachers assign these words for their students to study and learn because they are the most frequently occurring words in children’s texts.

The Relationship of Readability on the Science
THE RELATIONSHIP OF READABILITY ON THE SCIENCE ACHIEVEMENT TEST: A STUDY OF 5TH GRADE ACHIEVEMENT PERFORMANCE Zachary Scott Amos A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION May 2009 Committee: Dr. Cynthia Diane Bertelsen, Advisor Dr. Cindy Hendricks Dr. Mohammed Darabie i ABSTRACT Dr. Cynthia Bertelsen This study examined the relationship between readability and test performance. This study investigated the historical, theoretical, and research views of high stakes testing, out-of- level testing, and comprehension. The Ohio Fifth Grade Science Achievement tests’ individual test questions were examined based upon the Flesch Kincaid readability formula. A revised version of the test was created with a lower reading level. A study was conducted on 34 students from a rural midwestern community. The tests were both administered, with two weeks of separation. The data were collected and analyzed through the StatCrunch application using T- Statical and Summative data Analysis. From the results, their appeared to be a statistical difference in the test scores in favor of the revised version. ii I dedicate this thesis to all of the people who assisted me throughout this process. This includes my chair: Dr. Cynthia Bertelsen, my committee members: Dr. Cindy Hendricks, Dr. Mohammed Darabie, and my personal support of my family, friends, and colleagues. Without all of these people and the exceptional resources provided by Bowling Green State University’s Jerome Library, I would not be where I am today! iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to acknowledge Dr.
