Abstract
The role of grammar in reading comprehension remains unresolved despite the relatively large number of studies in this line of research. Drawing on the (dis)advantages of applying grammatical knowledge to the reading process, the present study discusses some of the reasons for differing results reported by previous studies. It is argued that grammatical knowledge can affect comprehension differently under different conditions. Specifically, grammar can be helpful in understanding complex sentences, while being even counterproductive when applied to texts with simpler structures. It is, therefore, important to take into consideration the interaction between grammatical knowledge and the text when examining the role of grammar in reading comprehension. An operational framework of grammatical knowledge with regard to reading comprehension is put forward to illuminate its role in reading comprehension and provide guidelines for teaching practice. The operational framework makes a primary distinction betweengrammatical knowledge and grammar instruction and further places them on the implicit/explicit continuum. It is concluded that knowing how and when to resort to grammar is as important for students as being competent in grammar. This conclusion highlights the significance of adopting a strategy-based approach to grammar instruction. Teachers should teach both cognitive and metacognitive strategies when teaching grammar for reading. Le rôle de la grammaire dans la compréhension de la lecture reste non résolu malgré le nombre relativement important d’études dans ce domaine de recherche. En s’appuyant sur les (dés)avantages de l’application des connaissances grammaticales au processus de lecture, la présente étude explore certains éléments qui expliquent les résultats divergents rapportés par les études précédentes. Elle soutient que les connaissances grammaticales peuvent affecter la compréhension différemment selon les conditions. Plus précisément, la grammaire peut être utile pour comprendre des phrases complexes, tout en étant contre-productive lorsqu’elle est appliquée à des textes ayant des structures plus simples. Il est donc important de prendre en considération l’interaction entre les connaissances grammaticales et le texte lorsque l’on examine le rôle de la grammaire dans la compréhension de la lecture. Un cadre opérationnel de la connaissance grammaticale en matière de compréhension de la lecture est proposé pour éclairer son rôle dans lacompréhension de la lecture et fournir des lignes directrices pour l’enseignement. Le cadre opérationnel établit une distinction primaire entre la connaissance grammaticale et l’enseignement de la grammaire et les place sur le continuum implicite/explicite. L’article conclut en avançant que savoir comment et quand recourir à la grammaire est aussi important pour les apprenants que d’être compétent en grammaire. Cette conclusion souligne l’importance d’adopter une approche basée sur les stratégies pour l’enseignement de la grammaire. Les enseignants devraient enseigner des stratégies cognitives et métacognitives lorsqu’ils enseignent la grammaire pour la lecture.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
