Russo, James; MacDonald, Amy; Russo, Toby – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Estimation supports the development of higher level mathematical thinking and reasoning; however, has received relatively little research attention. We examined whether making predictions influences the accuracy of numerosity estimates in elementary-aged children, and whether the amount of information available to the estimator determines the…

George K. Georgiou; Kyriakoula Rothou – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Researchers tend to use oral- and silent-reading fluency measures interchangeably and to generalize research findings across reading modes, especially from oral to silent reading. In this study, we sought to examine if oral and silent word-reading fluency rely on the same cognitive-linguistic skills. Three hundred and forty-five Greek children (80…

Taha, Haitham; Taha, Hanada; Shaheen, Huda – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
The current study examined the effect of the linguistic status of the verbal previewing strategy on the outcomes of reading comprehension tasks among second (N = 25, age 7.08 ± 0.3), and sixth-grade students (N = 25, age 11.75 ± 0.25), with typical reading development. The texts for each group were carefully matched and were divided into three…

Heidi Anne E. Mesmer – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Many initiatives have emphasized the importance of challenging students in text using readability formulas. Almost all formulas employ mean word frequency yet long-standing issues abound. Researchers question using a singular mean with a skewed variable like frequency. They also question the degree to which frequency pinpoints complex words,…

Rosenberg, Lindsay; Kruk, Richard S. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2022
Morpho-orthographic segmentation, rapid parsing of complex written words into their morphological components, is a potential source of difference in word recognition between struggling and typical readers. Although typical readers use morpho-semantic representations and morpho-orthographic segmentation in processing morphologically complex words,…

Tânia Fernandes; Sofia Velasco; Isabel Leite – Developmental Science, 2024
Discrimination of reversible mirrored letters (e.g., d and b) poses a challenge when learning to read as it requires overcoming "mirror invariance," an evolutionary-old perceptual tendency of processing mirror images as equivalent. The present study investigated "when," in reading development, mirror-image discrimination…

Castañeda-Garza, Gerardo; Valerio-Ureña, Gabriel – Environmental Education Research, 2023
Recognizing the relevance of energy in our lives is essential for ensuring a sustainable future. The lessons offered by education systems could exert an impact throughout the lives of people. This study conducts a review of the content of elementary-level textbooks in Mexico to describe and analyze the scope of these materials and their depth from…

Rakhi Banerjee; Kaye Stacey – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
The paper presents an analysis of elementary grade mathematics teaching in India focusing on mathematical reasoning. Mathematical reasoning is an important tool to make sense of mathematical ideas, which in turn makes mathematics more accessible to learners and promotes social equality. The paper analyzes 112 lessons from Grades 1 to 8 by 21…

Morales-Rando, Celia; Pérez-Jorge, David; Strbová, Lucie; Ariño-Mateo, Eva – Education 3-13, 2022
For the proper development of writing, teachers must choose the best line for their students. To this day, it is still not very clear which is the correct or the most suitable letter for the beginning of this learning process. However, there are certain parameters that allow us to observe the "pros" and "cons" that have been…

Marijana Zeljic; Milana Dabic Boricic; Svetlana Ilic – Journal of Educational Research, 2024
Previous research examining comparison relations in word problems primarily focused on students' achievements in word problems with one operation. In this paper, we extend previous research to examine the achievement of students of different ages on word problems that integrate compare and combine word problems, hereafter referred to as…

Duangmanee Ya-amphan; Sampan Thinwiangthong; Phailath Sythong – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2024
This comparative study analyzed the similarities and differences in the mathematical communication used by teachers and primary school students in Japanese, Lao, and Thai mathematics classrooms. It adopted a qualitative research design, and the targets were teachers and students in Grades 1-6 at a selected school in each of the three countries.…

Sharon A. Bailey – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to determine if and to what extent there is a correlation between paternal school involvement, and (school, cognitive/intellectual, and personal) involvement in their children's academic achievement of first through eighth-grade students in a private school. The theoretical foundation of…

GuoDong Li – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2025
Reading interest serves as an inherent driving force for children's reading. Current research shows that family cultural capital, school reading environment, and community reading culture all influence children's reading interests. According to the "family-school-community" collaborative education model, families, schools and communities…

Samantha Cooper; Michael Hebert; J. Marc Goodrich; Sergio Leiva; Xin Lin; Peng Peng; J. Ron Nelson – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2024
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the overall effects of automaticity training of fundamental literacy component skills (i.e., letter names/sounds, individual words) on reading fluency and comprehension. Another purpose was to assess if the effects of automaticity training varied for reading fluency and comprehension. We identified…

Judith Kreuz; Martin Luginbühl – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
'Taking part' in conversations requires different activities from the interactants depending on the kind of conversation. This article investigates co-constructions in oral peer group discussions of elementary school children from grades 2 to 6 (7-12 years old). Although dissent is the starting point of argumentations, negotiating processes in…
