Bell, Nicola; Angwin, Anthony J.; Wilson, Wayne J.; Arnott, Wendy L. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2019
This study compared the spelling skills and sub-skills of young children with cochlear implants (CIs) who use spoken language only (n = 14) with those of a same-aged typically hearing (TH) control group (n = 30). Spelling accuracy was assessed using irregular and nonsense word stimuli. Error and regression analyses were conducted to provide…

Two experiments explored rates for introducing grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) and the types of correspondences taught for optimal alphabet and early literacy skills learning. In both studies, children entered with minimal alphabet knowledge and were randomly assigned within classrooms to one of two treatments delivered individually over…

Gissel, Stig Toke; Andersen, Simon Calmar – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
A large-scale, cluster-randomized controlled field trial (N[subscript classrooms] = 47; N[subscript students] = 1,013) assessed the impact of a digital text-to-speech reading material that supported 8-year-olds' decoding and reading comprehension. An active control group used the most prevalent Danish learning material with a research-based…

Bell, Nicola; Farrell-Whelan, Max; Wheldall, Kevin – Australian Journal of Education, 2020
Teachers in England and South Australia annually administer the Phonics Screening Check (PSC) to Year 1 students, with the purpose of identifying struggling readers. Students who do not meet the score threshold have not met the expected standard of word-decoding ability, meaning further support may be warranted. We sought to quantify the extent to…
