Examining The Prediction of Listening Comprehension Skills on Reading Comprehension Performances
Öz
This study aimed to examine the prediction of listening comprehension skills on reading
comprehension performances. Participants were 52 students from kindergarten classes. Their
listening comprehension abilities were tested when they were in kindergarten, then their
reading comprehension performances when they were at first grade. Two measures (Listening
Comprehension Test and Text Reading and Reading Comprehension Test) were used to evaluate
the participants’ listening comprehension and reading comprehension skills. All evaluation
sessions were carried out individually in a quiet room located in the school of the child. A
Linear Regression Analysis was used to analyze the data. Findings from the present study
indicated that listening comprehension skills were one of the significant predictors of reading
comprehension performance. All findings were discussed with reference to the contents and
processing procedure of both listening and reading comprehension skills.
