Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stevens, Elizabeth A.; Leroux, Audrey J.; Mowbray, Megan H.; Lee, Grace S. – Exceptional Children, 2023
Schema instruction improves word-problem solving for students with mathematics difficulty (MD; e.g., Powell et al., 2015); however, prior research suggests that students need word-problem-specific language comprehension in addition to schema knowledge to build word-problem models (Fuchs et al., 2015, 2018). Students have general word knowledge…

Do Students with Specific Learning Disorders with Impairments in Reading Benefit from Linguistic Simplification of Test Items in Science?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cruz Neri, Nadine; Retelsdorf, Jan – Exceptional Children, 2022

Because students with specific learning disorders with impairments in reading (SLD-IR) show deficits in reading comprehension, they may struggle to perform in science. As language in science is characterized by linguistic complexity, the question…

Over the past decade, parent advocacy groups led a grassroots movement resulting in most states adopting dyslexia-specific legislation, with many states mandating the use of the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading instruction. Orton-Gillingham is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive approach to…
