Steacy, Laura M.; Rigobon, Valeria M.; Edwards, Ashley A.; Abes, Daniel R.; Marencin, Nancy C.; Smith, Kathryn; Elliott, James D.; Wade-Woolley, Lesly; Compton, Donald L. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: The probability of a child reading a word correctly is influenced by both child skills and properties of the word.

Steacy, Laura M.; Kirby, John R.; Parrila, Rauno; Compton, Donald L. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2014
The Double Deficit Hypothesis of dyslexia is one approach to classifying students with reading disabilities. The theory offers four distinct groups of readers: (a) average readers, (b) students with phonological deficits, (c) students with naming speed deficits, and (d) students with double deficits: those having both (b) and (c). This study…

Steacy, Laura M.; Kearns, Devin M.; Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Compton, Donald L.; Cho, Eunsoo; Lindstrom, Esther R.; Collins, Alyson A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Models of irregular word reading that take into account both child- and word-level predictors have not been evaluated in typically developing children and children with reading difficulty (RD). The purpose of the present study was to model individual differences in irregular word reading ability among 5th grade children (N = 170), oversampled for…
