Zusammenfassung: | This study investigates the effectiveness of Modified Multi-Component Cognitive Strategy Instruction
(MMCSI) on expository text comprehension skills of students with mild intellectual disability (ID). Three
students participated from inclusion classes of three different secondary schools in Turkey. The study was
conducted using a multiple probe design across subjects. Expository text comprehension skills of the
students were evaluated by using two different approaches: Reading Comprehension Test and Summary
Writing. Comprehension scores of the summaries were assessed according to the following dependent
variables: length of the summary, main idea scores, and quality. MMCSI was implemented in four phases:
text structure instruction, modeling, guided practice, and independent practice. Study results showed that
MMCSI was effective in a) improving the students’ comprehension of descriptive texts, b) maintaining
comprehension skills, and c) generalizing these skills to texts with different topic areas and structures. |
