    "abstract": "This study examined the extent to which graded readers vis-à-vis scaffolded silent reading (ScSR) resulted\nin increased vocabulary, reading comprehension, and\na positive attitude toward reading. A mixed-methods\nstudy was administered to two upper-intermediate adult\nESL classes at a community college in southwestern Arizona. Both groups took The Vocabulary Size Test and\nTABE Complete Language Assessment System–English.\nThe treatment group selected and read graded readers,\nmet individually with the instructor, and kept a journal;\nin addition, several students from the treatment group\nwere interviewed at the beginning and end of the study.\nDescriptive statistics were used on the pre- and posttests.\nThe findings were promising and showed some growth in\nvocabulary and reading comprehension for both the treatment and control groups. Furthermore, participants of\nthe treatment group expressed a positive attitude toward\nreading graded readers through scaffolded silent reading.\nAs a result, this study demonstrated that graded readers\nused with scaffolded silent reading show promise with this\nstudent population.",
