Silberglitt, Benjamin; Appleton, James J.; Burns, Matthew K.; Jimerson, Shane R. – Journal of School Psychology, 2006
Grade retention is an intervention that has received increasing scrutiny as policies, practices, and results of research diverge. This longitudinal study examines the reading growth trajectories of students (n=147) from first-through eighth-grade. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) analytic procedures provide unique insights regarding the relative…
