There is a need to develop effective reading comprehension interventions that fit easily into the school curriculum and can benefit all pupils. A feasibility study of reading comprehension strategies with existing evidence of efficacy was undertaken in three mainstream primary schools within an area of social deprivation in west central Scotland, to decide whether further investigation of this intervention was warranted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>Aims were to measure comprehension of spoken language and reading via standardised assessments towards the beginning of the school year (T1) in mainstream primary school classrooms within an area of social deprivation; to have teachers introduce previously\u2010validated text comprehension strategies, and to measure change in reading comprehension outcome measures towards the end of the year (T2).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods &amp; Procedures<\/jats:title><jats:p>A pre\u2010 and post\u2010intervention cohort design was used. Reading comprehension strategies were introduced to staff in participating schools and used throughout the school year as part of on\u2010going reading instruction. Spoken language comprehension was measured by TROG\u20102 at T1, and reading progress by score changes from T1 to T2 on the WIAT\u2010II<jats:sup>UK<\/jats:sup>\u2010T reading comprehension scale.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Outcomes &amp; Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Forty\u2010seven pupils in five classes in three primary schools took part: 38% had TROG\u20102 scores below the 10<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup> centile. As a group, children made good reading comprehension progress, with a medium effect size of 0.46. Children with TROG\u20102 scores below the 10<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup> centile had lower mean reading scores than others at T1 and T2, although with considerable overlap. However, TROG\u20102 did not make a unique contribution to reading progress: children below the 10<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup> centile made as much progress as other children. The intervention was welcomed by schools, and the measure of reading comprehension proved responsive to change.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The outcomes suggest the reading intervention may be effective for children with and without spoken language comprehension difficulties, and warrants further investigation in larger, controlled, studies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1460-6984.12124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,2]],"date-time":"2014-09-02T12:21:21Z","timestamp":1409660481000},"page":"129-135","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Developing a universal reading comprehension intervention for mainstream primary schools within areas of social deprivation for children with and without language\u2010learning impairment: a feasibility study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Elspeth","family":"McCartney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychological Sciences and Health University of Strathclyde  Glasgow UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Boyle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychological Sciences and Health University of Strathclyde  Glasgow UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sue","family":"Ellis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Education University of Strathclyde  Glasgow UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022219410369067"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","volume-title":"Test for Reception of Grammar Version 2 (TROG\u20102)","author":"Bishop D.
