Nastasia Schreiner; Aleksandr Shneyderman – Research Services, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, 2024
This Research Brief examines the success of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) 12th grade students in meeting missing assessment graduation requirements through the non-reportable (NR) American College Testing ACT and the College Board SAT exams. 1337 students took either one of the exams or both in the spring of 2024, and most students took…

Bulut, Hatice Cigdem; Bulut, Okan; Arikan, Serkan – International Journal of Testing, 2023
This study examined group differences in online reading comprehension (ORC) using student data from the 2016 administration of the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (ePIRLS). An explanatory item response modeling approach was used to explore the effects of item properties (i.e., item format, text complexity, and cognitive…

Visser, Linda; Cartschau, Friederike; von Goldammer, Ariane; Brandenburg, Janin; Timmerman, Marieke; Hasselhorn, Marcus; Mähler, Claudia – Applied Measurement in Education, 2023
The growing number of children in primary schools in Germany who have German as their second language (L2) has raised questions about the fairness of performance assessment. Fair tests are a prerequisite for distinguishing between L2 learning delay and a specific learning disability. We evaluated five commonly used reading and spelling tests for…

Klingbeil, David A.; Osman, David J.; Van Norman, Ethan R.; Berry-Corie, Kimberly; Kim, Jessica S.; Schmitt, Madeline C.; Latham, Alexander D. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2023
Accurate and efficient universal screening is a foundational component of multi-tiered systems of support for reading. By the time students reach middle school, educators often have extant data available to inform screening decisions. Therefore, the decision to collect additional data to inform screening should be considered carefully. The…

Like many states, Massachusetts has intensified efforts in recent years to improve literacy outcomes, particularly in the early grades. Initiatives have focused on providing guidance and resources for implementing changes in curriculum, instruction, and additional screening and support for struggling students. In September 2022, the Board of…

Ai Leen Choo; Daphne Greenberg; Hongli Li; Amani Talwar – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2023
Stuttering is a disorder that affects about 1% of the population and manifests as speech disfluencies. Reading difficulties and disabilities are commonly found in this population. Nonetheless, speech disfluencies have not been explored in adult struggling readers (ASRs). In the current study, we examined the rate of stuttering in ASRs as well as…

HyeJin Hwang; Kristen L. McMaster; Panayiota Kendeou – Reading Research Quarterly, 2023
The present study tested the postulation that "knowledge begets reading, which begets knowledge." Using Random Intercepts Cross-Lagged Panel Models (RI-CLPM), we analyzed a U.S. nationally representative data set to examine the directionality and magnitude of the longitudinal relation between domain knowledge (operationalized as science…

Sharareh Sadat Sarsarabi; Zeinab Sazegar – International Journal of Language Testing, 2023
The statement stated in a multiple-choice question can be developed regarding two types of sentences: Interruptive (periodic) and cumulative (or loose). This study deals with different kinds of stems in designing multiple-choice (MC) items. To fill the existing gap in the literature, two groups of teacher students passing general English courses…

Edwards-Hamlin, Shaundell – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the reading assessment performance between Black male students and their same grade level counterparts. Assessment results and teacher perceptions were analyzed to reveal instructional supports to demonstrate reading achievement. The mean scores and pass rates based on race and gender…

Carrie Emerick – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This study sought to find if the implementation of the strategy of goal setting and reflective portfolios would improve reading comprehension among long-term English learners (LTELs), which in turn would impact their FastBridge aReading scores. LTELs have difficulty reclassifying, resulting in negative outcomes regarding graduation rates and…

David D. Curtis; Peter Nielsen – Issues in Educational Research, 2025
The reading literacy skills of Australian adolescents, as measured in successive PISA waves, have declined since 2000. Literacy achievement is not low by international standards, but it is lower in Australia than it is in Anglophone countries with which we compare ourselves, e.g. Canada. Using PISA 2018 and PIRLS 2021 data, we investigated both…

Frederick J. Poole; Matthew D. Coss; Jody Clarke-Midura – Language Learning & Technology, 2025
This study explored the use of stealth assessments within a digital game to assess second language (L2) Chinese learners' reading comprehension. Log data tracking learners' in-game behaviors from a game designed for Chinese dual language immersion classrooms (Poole et al., 2022) were used to construct Bayesian Belief Networks to model reading…

Nicula, Bogdan; Perret, Cecile A.; Dascalu, Mihai; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Theories of discourse argue that comprehension depends on the coherence of the learner's mental representation. Our aim is to create a reliable automated representation to estimate readers' level of comprehension based on different productions, namely self-explanations and answers to open-ended questions. Previous work relied on Cohesion Network…

Marks, Rebecca A.; Eggleston, Rachel L.; Sun, Xin; Yu, Chi-Lin; Zhang, Kehui; Nickerson, Nia; Hu, Xiao-Su; Kovelman, Ioulia – Annals of Dyslexia, 2022
Morphological awareness, or sensitivity to units of meaning, is an essential component of reading comprehension development. Current neurobiological models of reading and dyslexia have largely been built upon phonological processing models, yet reading for meaning is as essential as reading for sound. To fill this gap, the present study explores…

Jian, Yu-Cin – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Readers' prior knowledge is an important factor for comprehending scientific texts. The study used an eye tracker to examine the reading processes of the undergraduates with high (HPK) and low prior knowledge (LPK) while reading a long printed scientific article. The results of measuring the eye movements offered some interesting findings. First,…
