"...students with disabilities ...often do

not learn as much from expository

reading as their peer.... extremely

important ...these be taught strategies

to help them understand expository

texts, including when and where the

strategies might be effective and

how to persist in using strategies when

text is not initially understood"

"Research indicates that explicit instruction involving motivation and metacognitive support for reading strategy use in the context of a discipline is an efficient and effective means of increasing reading comprehension"

Littlefield, A., (2011)

In conjunction with RCS [reading comprehension strategy] instruction, students assigned to the additional AR condition were explicitly taught how to identify faulty attributions for success and failure (e.g., luck) and instead make positive attributions for reading comprehension outcomes (i.e., strategy use). To promote the appeal to older students, AR concepts were initially introduced through sport examples of appropriate attributions (e.g., a basketball player’s positive vs. negative thinking when a crowd jeers during a free throw and the resulting outcome). The sport examples were intended to illustrate the AR concepts, help students make connections between known personal experiences and the AR concepts, and increase student motivation to learn the RCS strategies. In addition, specific teacher feedback was provided that rein- forced student attributions for strategy use.

FALSE thinking of older students: older students tend to believe that if they only need to put in a little effort, they must have high ability, and conversely that if they need to put in a lot of effort that they must have low ability (Stipek, 1993) ... Found in

These beliefs decrease the likelihood that these students will put forth the required effort to use cognitive and metacognitive strategies. This is particularly the case for older students with LD because they often have a history of academic failure and as a result, are likely to believe that they have little control over their academic achievement (Nelson & Manset-Williamson, 2006).

There is some beginning evidence that positive attributions regarding effort can motivate children to acquire and persist in using strategies. (Berkeley, S.,Mastropieri, M., & Scruggs, T. 2011, p. 20)..
