Direct linkFletcher, Jack M.; Savage, Robert; Vaughn, Sharon – Educational Psychology Review, 2021
Bowers ("Educational Psychology Review," 32, 681-705, 2020) reviewed 12 meta-analytic syntheses addressing the effects of phonics instruction, concluding that the evidence is weak to nonexistent in supporting the superiority of systematic phonics to alternative reading methods. We identify five issues that limit Bowers' conclusions: (1)…

Georgiou, George K.; Savage, Robert; Dunn, Kristy; Bowers, Peter; Parrila, Rauno – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Structured Word Inquiry (SWI; an orthography intervention with a focus on morphology and how morphology interrelates with phonology and etymology) and Simplicity intervention (a novel phonics intervention) on the reading and spelling skills of persistently poor Grade 3 readers.…

Outcomes suggest that, although some skills are being trained in a…

Savage, Robert; Carless, Sue; Erten, Ozlem – Support for Learning, 2009
This study explored the responsiveness of children at risk of reading problems in Year 1 to a phonics intervention delivered by teaching assistants (TAs). Based on their non-word decoding skills in the immediate post-tests, 74 children were clustered together at the high end as "treatment responders" (n = 49) and at the low end as "treatment…

Deault, Louise; Savage, Robert; Abrami, Philip – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2009
Inattention is often associated with reduced response to reading intervention. This study explored attention as a predictor of individual variation in response to a free-access Web-based literacy intervention, ABRACADABRA (http://abralite.concordia.ca) in typical Grade 1 children. A randomized control design was used to contrast two interventions,…
