Strategy training and mind-mapping facilitates children’s hypertext comprehension

Children in primary school read hypertext for comprehension. However, children typically are taught reading strategies for linear
text, while these strategies are not automatically transferrable one-to-one to hypertext. In the present study, a training group
of 55 sixth-graders were taught four hypertext reading strategies (planning, monitoring, evaluation and elaboration) via mind
mapping and the usage of a prompting paper-card. A control group of 29 children received no strategy training. We examined to what
extent strategy training influenced children’s strategy use and learning outcomes: (1) number of pages read and reading time per
text, (2) literal / inferential reading comprehension scores and (3) knowledge representations (relatedness judgment task and mind
maps). At posttest, the training group showed higher scores on a self-reported strategy usage questionnaire, and higher
comprehension scores as compared to the control group. Hypertext strategy training in combination with mind-mapping supports
children’s hypertext comprehension.
