Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine the disruptive effect of unknown words on reading and to examine this effect in relationship to grammatical position and modification type. Forty second grade children from two different lower middle class, semirural schools were randomly assigned to the standardization group or the experimental group. Two versions of the same story with the same number of words were used to gather data. Version 1, the unmodified version (UV), was retyped exactly as it appeared in a basal reader. Version 2, the modified version (MV), contained largely the same text, but with approximately 5 percent of the words changed. Words in the MV were altered according to grammatical positions and types. Reading errors were recorded and tallied by numerical position. The results indicated that the experimental group made a greater percentage of errors in crucial positions than the standardization group; errors surrounding unknown words were greater for the experimental group's reading of MV versus UV than those in the equivalent positions surrounding known words; and there was no significant difference in the number of errors surrounding words modified by type.
