In the first article, Bartolo Bazan reports on his examination of visuospatial working memory and individual differences in reading fluency growth. Next, Ray J.T. Liao presents the findings of his study of comparing the processes that English as a second language students used when completing reading tasks in a multiple-choice question format with those in a short-answer question format. In the third article, Brett Milliner examines what happens when timed reading, repeated oral reading, and extensive reading are combined. The fourth article, by Shuyi Yang, is concerned with the applicability of word reading, word segmentation, and text reading as diagnostic tools to assess comprehension, detect struggling readers, and inform instruction for low-level Chinese as second language learners.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="times new roman, serif"></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="times new roman, serif"> </font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="times new roman, serif">There are three articles in the Discussion Forum.
