Compton, Donald L.; Fuchs, Douglas; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Elleman, Amy M.; Gilbert, Jennifer K. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2008
The purpose of this study was to examine (1) the stability of latent classes associated with reading disability (RD) and typical development (TD) across time, (2) the importance of speeded word recognition as a latent class indicator of RD and TD, and (3) possible early indicators of students with late-emerging RD. Analyses were based on a…

Jenkins, Joseph R.; Fuchs, Lynn S.; van den Broek, Paul; Espin, Christine; Deno, Stanley L. – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2003
Twenty-four students with reading difficulties (grade 4) and 85 skilled readers completed a reading comprehension test, read aloud a folktale, and read aloud a list of the folktale's words. Skilled readers read three times more correct words per minute in context and showed higher accuracy and rates on all measures. (Contains references.)…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Kazdan, Sarah; Allen, Shelley – Elementary School Journal, 1999
Developed and evaluated an explicit approach to teaching students to engage in elaborated help-giving during collaborative group work in reading. Found that grade level and treatment exerted statistically significant and practically sizable effects on the help that students provided their peers. (Author/LPP)

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Hamlett, Carol L.; Karns, Kathy – American Educational Research Journal, 1998
Interactions and performances of 10 high-achieving third- and fourth-grade students on complex mathematics tasks were studied as a function of paring with other high-achieving (homogeneous) or low-achieving (heterogeneous pairing) students. Homogeneous dyads operate more collaboratively, generate more cognitive conflict, and create better quality…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2002
A study investigated the mathematical problem-solving abilities of 18 fourth-graders with mathematics disabilities (MD) with and without comorbid reading disabilities (RD). Results demonstrated large deficits for both groups. However, the differences between students with and without RD were mediated by the level of problem solving and by…
