Sutter, Claudia C.; Campbell, Laurie O.; Lambie, Glenn W. – Computers in the Schools, 2020
The present study investigated the predictability of a computer-adaptive, curriculum-based reading assessment for measuring second-grade students' overall and comprehension reading achievement on a standardized reading achievement test. Specifically, second-grade student scores (N = 428) of the Istation's Indicators of Progress for Early Reading…

Vaknin-Nusbaum, Vered; Sarid, Miri – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
The aim of the current study was to examine the role of morphological awareness (MA), in reading comprehension in second grade Hebrew-speaking students (n = 595). Three groups of readers (n = 595), formed according to the change in their derivational-awareness (DA) scores throughout the school year, were examined: Low-DA readers, improved-DA…

Maria Levlin; Lacey Okonski; Kirk P. H. Sullivan – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2024
This longitudinal case study examines reading difficulties identified in Grade 2 and Grade 6 national assessment test (NAT) scores in relation to Grade 9 NAT in Swedish (L1) and English (L2). A norm-referenced screening was used in Grade 2 to assess word reading and reading comprehension. In line with the simple view of reading, four subgroups…

Melero, Ángeles; Villalón, Ruth; Izquierdo-Magaldi, Belén – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2020
Introduction: In literate societies, reading is a key cultural instrument that must be mastered. This process involves cognitive, affective-motivational and contextual aspects. However, we find little research internationally on the relationship between reading comprehension, attitudes toward reading, reading self-confidence and family involvement…

Nese, Joseph F. T. – AERA Open, 2022
Curriculum-based measurement of oral reading fluency (CBM-R) is used as an indicator of reading proficiency, and to measure at risk students' response to reading interventions to help ensure effective instruction. The purpose of this study was to compare model-based words read correctly per minute (WCPM) scores (computerized oral reading…

Röthlisberger, Martina; Zangger, Christoph; Juska-Bacher, Britta – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: In countries with German as an official language, children with German as a second language perform overall worse in school than their German native speaking peers. This particularly affects written language skills, which require advanced language knowledge. The reasons are manifold, but one is prominent, namely poor vocabulary…

Grapin, Sally L.; Waldron, Nancy; Joyce-Beaulieu, Diana – Psychology in the Schools, 2019
Because several studies have investigated student outcomes in schools implementing Response to Intervention (RtI), relatively little research has investigated the impact of implementation on students' long-term achievement outcomes (i.e., several years after exposure). The purpose of this study was to describe one elementary school's RtI…

Chow, Jason C.; Ekholm, Eric; Bae, Christine L. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
It is common in intervention research to use measures of working memory either as an explanatory or a control variable. This study examines the contribution of cognitive abilities, including verbal working memory (WM) and attention, to language performance in first- and second-grade children. We assessed children (N = 414) on two forms of verbal…

Son, Seung-Hee Claire; Butcher, Kirsten R.; Liang, Lauren Aimonette – Elementary School Journal, 2020
This study investigates how interactive features embedded in the illustrations of storybook apps influenced young readers' story enjoyment and comprehension. Kindergartners and second graders (N = 91) were randomly assigned to read storybook apps in an interactive or noninteractive condition. Findings showed that children's self-reported enjoyment…

Luft Baker, Doris; Park, Yonghan; Andress, Tim T. – School Psychology Review, 2023
This study examined the longitudinal prediction of decoding, oral reading fluency (ORF), and bilingual language proficiency (BLP) on student reading comprehension (RC) outcomes in Spanish and in English. Participants were first-grade Latinx students attending bilingual programs. Findings indicated that BLP initial status and gains were significant…

Peng, Peng; Fuchs, Douglas; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Cho, Eunsoo; Elleman, Amy M.; Kearns, Devin M.; Patton, Samuel, III; Compton, Donald L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a randomized control trial to explore this question: Does "response/no response" best characterize students' reactions to a generally efficacious first-grade reading program, or is a more nuanced characterization necessary? Data were collected on 265 at-risk readers' word reading prior to…

Antia, Shirin D.; Lederberg, Amy R.; Easterbrooks, Susan; Schick, Brenda; Branum-Martin, Lee; Connor, Carol M.; Webb, Mi-Young – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2020
We examined the language and reading progress of 336 young DHH children in kindergarten, first and second grades. Trained assessors tested children's language, reading, and spoken and fingerspelled phonological awareness in the fall and spring of the school year. Children were divided into groups based on their auditory access and classroom…
