Learner Objectives
This session will help participants…
- describe the utility and the psychometric integrity of the 16 item, 2-factor Student Perceptions of a Good Reader Scale.
- explain the extent students believe good readers are those who read fast and accurately versus those who comprehend well.
- explain whether student perceptions of a good reader change as a function of reading ability and grade level.
Description
Administration of the Student Perceptions of a Good Reader (SPGR; Smith & Bell, 2020) to 134 participants yielded promising psychometric integrity (e.g., Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of .78 and .79 for the Perceptions: Decoding Efficiency, P/DE, and Perceptions: Reading Comprehension, P/RC, subscales, respectively). Additional mean-difference analyses compared perceptions of skilled and less skilled readers and mean scores based on grade level; significant results (p < .05) are discussed, along with implications.
