"Matching Reading Styles and Reading Instruction." Oglesby, F.; Suter, W.N. (1995). Research in the Schools (Mid-South Educational Research Association), Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 11-15. This article describes the doctoral research of Oglesby (see item number 2.11), which involved 198 third- and sixth-graders. All subjects were pretested with the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test. Half of the subjects were administered the Reading Style Inventory (Carbo) and were provided with reading instruction using methods, strategies and materials that matched their preferred reading style. Six months later, all students were posttested using the same reading tests. Reading results were significant in favor of the CRS group, supporting the hypothesis that incorporating reading styles in reading instruction resulted in greater reading gains.
