Spelling analyses can be used to investigate sources of linguistic knowledge underlying children's literacy development and may be useful in predicting later achievement. This study explored the utility of six analysis metrics in predicting the spelling achievement of school-aged children with literacy learning difficulties via post-hoc analyses…

Ascenzi-Moreno, Laura; Seltzer, Kate – Journal of Literacy Research, 2021
Recent scholarship has identified how the reading assessment process can be improved by adapting to and accounting for emergent bilinguals' multilingual resources. While this work provides guidance about how teachers can take this approach within their assessment practices, this article strengthens and builds on this scholarship by combining…

Su, Shiyang; Davison, Mark L. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2019
Response times have often been used as ancillary information to improve parameter estimation. Under the dual processing theory, assuming reading comprehension requires an automatic process, a fast, correct response is an indicator of effective automatic processing. A skilled, automatic comprehender should be high in response accuracy and low in…

Saletta, Meredith; Winberg, Jennifer – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2019
There is a dearth of appropriate reading material for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDDs). Often, a book's content is relevant to younger audiences, or its reading level is inaccessible. In this pilot study, we determined which factors facilitate reading accuracy and comprehension for this population. We wrote and tested…

Lippmann, Marie; Schwartz, Neil H.; Jacobson, Neil G.; Narciss, Susanne – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2019
Two experiments investigated the extent to which the concreteness of titles affects metacognitive text expectations, study motivation, and comprehension test performance. Sixty-three American and 61 German students were presented with three titles (either concrete or abstract), based upon which the students estimated their expected…

Mills, Caitlin; Wu, Jennifer; D'Mello, Sidney – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
We investigated how affective states influence expository text comprehension and whether text valence moderates the effects (i.e., mood congruency). In Experiment 1 participants were randomly assigned to a happy or sad affective state (elicited via films) before reading a positive or negative version of a scientific text on animal adaptations.…

Kathleen Foster House – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The purpose of this study was to provide data about the effects of early literacy instructional methods on later elementary reading performance. This study compared students who were introduced to reading through a synthetic phonics approach in contrast to students who were introduced to reading through an analytic phonics approach. Quantitative…

Paige, David D.; Rupley, William H. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
The reading of complex text has become part of the reading curriculum since the introduction of the Common Core State Standards. However, little research has been conducted to determine the effect of complex text instruction on comprehension and fluency in secondary readers. This study randomly assigned 53 11th-grade US history students to one of…

Danika L. Pfeiffer; Stacey L. Pavelko – Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, 2023
Purpose: The purposes of this alphabet knowledge (AK) tutorial are to provide (a) a description of its developmental sequence, (b) evidence-based assessment considerations, (c) evidence-based intervention guidance, and (d) a discussion of three service delivery models that speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can use when providing intervention…

I-Chien Chen; Nai-Cheng Kuo; Breanna Smith – School Community Journal, 2023
Low-income families face myriad stressors and challenges that often negatively affect students' reading achievement. Although community partners are crucial in supporting K-12 students, there is little research on how different types of community services affect students' reading achievement in Title I schools. The present study aims to assess the…

Olson, Collin S. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Gestures and other bodily movements are frequently used as instructional strategies in second language classrooms. Research has demonstrated that gestures are an effective strategy to improve L2 vocabulary recall. However, previous studies have only used vocabulary items that are known to participants in their native languages. Additionally,…

LaVigne-Jones, Deon – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Despite ongoing efforts to reform schools, the longstanding racial/ethnic achievement gap still persists, particularly for boys of color; in many cases, the gap is widening, particularly for students transitioning from elementary to middle school. The focus of this study was to examine the impact of effective instructional practices for struggling…

Shear, Benjamin R. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2023
Large-scale standardized tests are regularly used to measure student achievement overall and for student subgroups. These uses assume tests provide comparable measures of outcomes across student subgroups, but prior research suggests score comparisons across gender groups may be complicated by the type of test items used. This paper presents…

Anna E. Mason; Jason L. G. Braasch; Daphne Greenberg; Erica D. Kessler; Laura K. Allen; Danielle S. McNamara – Reading Psychology, 2023
This study examined the extent to which prior beliefs and reading instructions impacted elements of a reader's mental representation of multiple texts. College students' beliefs about childhood vaccinations were assessed before reading two anti-vaccine and two pro-vaccine texts. Participants in the experimental condition read for the purpose of…
