On the Irrelevance of Intelligence in Predicting Responsiveness to Reading Instruction
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fuchs, Douglas; Young, Caresa L. – Exceptional Children, 2006
There is increasingly negative sentiment against IQ-achievement discrepancy as a method to identify children with learning disabilities (LD) and, more broadly, intelligence as an explanation of poor academic performance. The evidence for this latter view was examined by reviewing 13 studies involving 1,542 children who were at risk or reading…

Substance over Style: Assessing the Efficacy of Modality Testing and Teaching.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kavale, Kenneth A.; Forness, Steven R. – Exceptional Children, 1987
A literature search identified 39 studies assessing modality preferences and modality teaching. The studies, involving 3,087 disabled and nondisabled elementary/secondary level subjects, were quantitatively synthesized. Subjects receiving differential instruction based on modality preferences exhibited only modest gains. (Author/JDD)
