ABSTRACT

This paper reports findings from a study that assesses metacognitiveawareness and reading-strategy use of Korean elementary students who areat risk for reading disabilities. A total of 249 students responded to a 30-itemsurvey of Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies(MARIS). The strategieswere classified into 3 categories: global reading strategies, problem solvingstrategies, and support reading strategies. The result showed that significantlylower metacognitive strategy use scores were found for children at risk forreading disabilities compared with low achieving children and average achievingchildren. In addition, a statistically significant relationship was found betweena reading comprehension achievement and their overall strategy use (r =0.34),problem-solving strategies (r =0.35), support strategies (r =0.24), and globalstrategies (r =0.34). Findings are discussed in light of the reading strategyknowledge base as well as the theoretical and practical implications.
