It was concealed inside a gift given by the Soviet Union to W. Averell Harriman, the United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union, on August 4, 1945.
A covert listening device, more commonly known as a bug or a wire, is usually a combination of a miniature radio transmitter with a microphone.

similar to the reading-while-listening condition (e.g., Alvarez-Alonso et al., 2021; Chen, 2021). In a previous meta-analysis comparing reading to listening comprehension, pacing was an important moderator (Clinton-Lisell, 2022). When reading was self-paced and listening was experimenter-paced, reading yielded better comprehension than listening.
1. INTRODUCTION. This poster session will highlight a research study on the impact that mobile devices potentially have on reading fluency in a second language context (specifically the United Arab Emirates). The poster will be divided into several key areas: previous research on reading using mobile devices, trends in reading fluency, reading ...
7. Preliminary Results. 7.1 Descriptive results The study was conducted at Hadassah Primary School in grade three students who are reading at grade 2 fluency level.

Audiobook listenership is growing with the increasing availability of devices, platforms and apps offering an ever-wider range of high quality titles. This literature review provides an overview of research exploring the role of audiobooks in supporting children's literacy both at home and in the classroom.
There were no reliable effects of reading while listening when reading was self-paced, g = 0.06, SE = 0.06, 95% CI = [-0.07, 0.19], p = 0.34. Struggling readers' overall comprehension and second language learners' incidental vocabulary acquisition may be benefited through audio-assisted reading, but there are currently too few studies to afford ...
A study tests the hypothesis that knowledge of literary devices aids students in the interpretation of literature, and therefore, reading comprehension.
