Cooper, Grant; Thomas, Damon P.; Prain, Vaughan; Fraser, Sharon – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Many factors are claimed to explain Australian students' declining participation rates in senior secondary science subjects. These include, for instance, the influences of SES, indigeneity, and gender. While acknowledging the compelling case for these factors affecting student pathways, in this study we explore associations between students'…

McArthur, Genevieve; Badcock, Nicholas; Castles, Anne; Robidoux, Serje – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
There is good evidence for an association between poor reading and anxiety, but the mechanisms responsible for this association are currently unknown. In this study, we used structural equation modeling of four large longitudinal databases from the United Kingdom (n = 7,870), the United States (ns = 8,001 and 7,160), and Australia (n = 768) to…

Nicholas, Maria; Rouse, Elizabeth – Literacy, 2021
Learning to read is a process that begins well before children commence formal schooling and well before children learn to decode print. Children's early reading skills are, first and foremost, foundationally contingent upon children's oral language and phonological awareness proficiencies -- skills that can be mapped across a continuum of…

Pritchard, Verena E.; Malone, Stephanie A.; Hulme, Charles – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
This study examined the longitudinal relationship between early handwriting skills and the growth of spelling and reading skills in a large sample (N = 569) of 5- to 6-year-old children unselected for ability. The quality of children's handwriting was assessed using five indicators (letter form, slant, rhythm, ability, general appearance).…

Ray, Karen; Dally, Kerry; Colyvas, Kim; Lane, Alison E. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2021
The ultimate goal of reading is to comprehend written text, and this goal can only be attained if the reader can decode written words and understand their meanings. The science of reading has provided compelling evidence for the subskills that form the foundation of decoding. Decoding words requires understanding of the alphabetic principle and…

Scholes, Laura; Asplund, Stig-Börje – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2021
Drawing on interviews we explore the centrality of belonging to rural places, embedded within time, in shaping life as a male reader, regardless of country of origin, or generation. Place theory explored the assemblages of spaces important for 6 boys (10-11 year-olds) from Australia and 6 men (25 year-olds and 60 year-olds) from Sweden in their…

Smith, Reid; Snow, Pamela; Serry, Tanya; Hammond, Lorraine – Reading Psychology, 2021
A critical review was conducted to determine the influence background knowledge has on the reading comprehension of primary school-aged children. We identified twenty-three studies that met our criteria and focused on the links between background knowledge and reading comprehension of children in the mid to late primary years. Review findings…

Bell, Nicola; Farrell-Whelan, Max; Wheldall, Kevin – Australian Journal of Education, 2020
Teachers in England and South Australia annually administer the Phonics Screening Check (PSC) to Year 1 students, with the purpose of identifying struggling readers. Students who do not meet the score threshold have not met the expected standard of word-decoding ability, meaning further support may be warranted. We sought to quantify the extent to…

There is increasing awareness of the high levels of support needed for literacy learning for children on the autism spectrum. Although research has investigated the quality of the classroom literacy environment, little attention has been paid to examining the classroom literacy environment in specialist classrooms catering specifically for…

Wilson, Sue – English in Education, 2021
When researching reading events, the depth to which we understand the student experience is all-important. Much insight has come from exploring sociocultural understandings, yet by focusing upon how the critical sociocultural dynamics of identity, agency and power relationships are mediated, we can understand differently the moment-to-moment…

Nicholas, Maria; Rouse, Elizabeth; Paatsch, Louise – Education Sciences, 2021
Research has shown that schoolteachers often prepare children for success in standardized reading assessments by 'teaching to the test.' Concurrently, research exploring children's emergent literacies and 'school readiness' has shown that early childhood teachers often feel pressured to 'prepare' children for school and may do so by focusing on…

Elek, Catriona; Gray, Sarah; West, Sue; Goldfeld, Sharon – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2022
The years from birth to five are critical for building the emergent literacy skills that precede learning to read and write. Early childhood education and care services are in a unique position to support emergent literacy development, particularly for children in socio-economically disadvantaged communities. This article reports the findings of a…
