Steacy, Laura M.; Petscher, Yaacov; Elliott, James D.; Smith, Kathryn; Rigobon, Valeria M.; Abes, Daniel R.; Edwards, Ashley A.; Himelhoch, Alexandra C.; Rueckl, Jay G.; Compton, Donald L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
We modeled word reading growth in typically developing (n = 118) and children with dyslexia (n = 20), Grades 2-5, across multiple exposures to 30 words. We explored the facilitative versus inhibitory effects of exposures to differential mixes of words that support high- versus low-frequency vowel pronunciations. One training corpus contained a…

Apthorp, Helen S. – Journal of Educational Research, 2006
The author examined the effectiveness of a vocabulary intervention that employed structured, supplemental story read-alouds and related oral-language activities. Within each of 7 Title I schools across 2 sites, 15 third-grade teachers were randomly assigned to either use the intervention (treatment condition) or continue their usual practice…

Peer reviewedGiesecke, Denise; And Others – Preventing School Failure, 1993
This study evaluated a cross-age peer tutoring intervention using four low-achieving grade-four students as tutors and three grade-three students reading at grade level. Tutors and tutees all improved their sight word performance substantially. All participants reported they liked the program and tutors also improved in self-concept. (DB)
