Popis:	The level of comprehension monitoring and the level of reading comprehension in low- and high-achieving fourth graders were investigated. Monitoring was assessed by changes in reading time and number of look-backs when confronted with comprehension obstacles. Reading comprehension was assessed with a task in which subjects had to summarize the text. The effect of strategic training on low-achievers' monitoring and comprehension was also investigated. The results indicated that the level of monitoring and the level of comprehension are related, which helps to clarify the differences between low- and high-achieving readers' comprehension. Training improved the low-achievers' monitoring and comprehension. The assessment method, with suggestions for its improvement, is also discussed.
