| Summary: | In the context of observations that students lack mastery of elementary reading comprehension
in Malayalam even by the end of 5-7 years of formal schooling, this study applies multiple
regression analysis for reading comprehension. Longitudinal survey data from a representative
sample of 159 lower primary students from grade 2 to 4 revealed Reading Comprehension as
significantly and positively related to Morphological Awareness, Phonological awareness and
Ravens non-verbal ability. The three predictors account for near 1/3 of the variation in reading
comprehension in Malayalam of elementary school learners. Findings suggest enhancing
phonological and morphological awareness in order to develop reading comprehension. |
