Dennis, Danielle V.; Kroeger, Diane C. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2012
A conceptualization of reading as an interaction of constrained and unconstrained skills formed the theoretical basis for this correlational analysis of adolescents' orthographic knowledge. We hypothesized that orthographic development (as measured by spelling ability) would serve as a link between constrained and unconstrained reading skills in…

Grissmer, David W.; Ober, David R.; Beekman, John A. – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2014
The short-term emphasis engendered by No Child Left Behind (NCLB) has focused research predominantly on unraveling the complexities and uncertainties in assessing short-term results, rather than developing methods and assessing results over the longer term. In this paper we focus on estimating long-term gains and address questions important to…
