ABSTRACT

These are recent research-based publications about metacognition and cognitive strategy instruction in reading, with a focus on adults. Empirical, quantitative research studies and reviews of such studies were selected because these are most generalizable to adult literacy students as a whole. As there is so little published research on adult literacy students, this bibliography also includes studies on other adult populations that are not in the adult literacy system but share certain characteristics with adult literacy students, such as older adults, low-literate adults who are not in adult literacy programs, and community college students who struggle with reading. Most of the citations are from the last 10 years; references to earlier work can be found in the bibliographies of these sources. This bibliography is arranged in two main sections, Metacognition and Strategy Instruction, to parallel chapter 7. Within each section, references are arranged by type of publication (books and book chapters, journal articles, and other documents) and listed chronologically. As many of the studies use technical terminology, a short glossary is provided at the end of this bibliography.
