This article synthesized the morphology intervention studies conducted in English with students kindergarten through 12th grade between 1986 and 2006. Seven were identified as focusing primarily on instruction, including roots affixes, measuring one or more reading‐related outcomes (e.g., word identification, spelling, vocabulary, reading comprehension). Of those meeting criteria, three focused vocabulary acquisition, was spelling. Although there a wide range effect sizes computed for...
The purpose of this narrative synthesis is to determine the reliability and validity retell protocols for assessing reading comprehension students in grades K–12. Fifty-four studies were systematically coded data related administration protocol, scoring procedures, technical adequacy component. Retell was moderately correlated with standardized measures and, older students, had a lower correlation decoding fluency. Literal information retold more frequently than inferential, learning...
Abstract This study explored the relationship between reading ability and science achievement of students in grades 5, 8, 9. Reading was assessed with four measures: word recognition, vocabulary, syntactic knowledge, comprehension (23% all passages were on topics). Science state criterion–referenced measures. Both measures included inference items. Using multiple‐group structural equation modeling, a general factor (composed two specific factors discourse comprehension) found to account for...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of bacterial pathogens is an emerging public health threat. This threat extends to pets as it also compromises our ability treat their infections. Surveillance programs in the United States have traditionally focused on collecting data from food animals, foods, and people. The Veterinary Laboratory Investigation Response Network (Vet-LIRN), a national network 45 veterinary diagnostic laboratories, tested antimicrobial susceptibility clinically relevant isolates...
Automaticity in word recognition has been hypothesized to be important reading development (LaBerge & Samuels, 1974; Perfetti, 1985). However, when predicting educational outcomes, it is difficult isolate the influence of automatic from factors such as processing speed or knowledge grapheme-phoneme correspondences. Cognitive models suggest automaticity could achieved different components (e.g., by memorizing familiar words tuning mappings between orthography, phonology semantics)....
The present study evaluated the effectiveness of a non-randomized summer reading program offered by school district meeting or exceeding all National Summer Learning Project recommendations. had 10 years experience delivering to Grades 1–5 students with at risk disabilities. Voluntary participation been declining in three prior pandemic and declined further during pandemic. In 2021, 144 eligible attended least half 1113 were but did not participate. All pre- post-tested measure overall...
Handwriting difficulties may signal dysgraphia or other writing that can affect literacy performance. Existing instruments measure different handwriting features to identify students for interventions but take extra testing time and restrict potential indicators appropriate evaluating adolescents. This exploratory study aimed evaluate an ecologically valid approach assessment. Writing samples from 100 juvenile offenders in Grades 6–12 were gathered at their entry into four long-term secure...
AbstractThis qualitative study investigated the educational experiences that shaped juvenile offenders’ perceptions of academic support they received in justice (JJ) settings and their public schools. We conducted interviews with students JJ school personnel, two focus groups, classroom observations, student surveys. Juvenile offenders characterized teachers as supportive or unsupportive based on whether made proactive efforts to help learn. Disconnection occurred when perceived did not care...
This article examined the ecological and population validity of research on reading interventions for adolescents in Grades 6 through 12. The 26 studies meeting selection criteria were analyzed to determine characteristics students, interventionists, classroom structures, school environments used, as well whether there differential effects treatments across those characteristics. In 20+ years since calls by Council Learning Disabilities National Joint Committee greater specificity...
To better understand dimensions of text complexity and their effect on the comprehension adolescents, 103 high school seniors were randomly assigned to 4 groups. Each group read versions same 2 informational passages answered test items targeting factual recall inferences causal content. Group A had a challenging readability level cohesion; B an easier low C D cohesion. Students in significantly outperformed students (g = 0.78). Although sizes comparisons among all groups ranged from g 0.13...
This meta-analytic review investigated non-repetitive reading fluency interventions for K-12 students with difficulties. Eight studies met inclusion criteria. The approaches were distinguished by their intervention structures; student groupings; and text difficulty, length, genre. overall multivariate weighted average standardized mean difference robust variance yielded an improvement of less than 0.2 SD ( d = 0.176) interventions, but results positive statistically significant. moderator...
This paper synthesized studies of professional development for middle school content area teachers and the teachers’ subsequent implementation literacy strategies. Four were identified as having a majority participants teaching English/reading, mathematics, science, social in grades 6 through 8. Articles meeting criteria included two qualitative impact on strategies, one ethnographic study characteristics with strong quasiexperimental student reading performance. Findings indicate that...
This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of a strategy for making text-dependent inferences—with and without embedded self-regulation skills—on reading comprehension 24 middle-grade students with disabilities. Classes were randomly assigned to receive inference intervention only (IO), + individual goal setting (IIG), or group (IGG). The Kruskal–Wallis one-way analysis variance revealed no significant differences between groups on overall performance, but in IGG significantly...
Clearly communicating lesson objectives supports student learning and positive behavior.Teacher performance assessment systems frequently include whether or not the objective was posted in classroom stated to students. This is considered distinct from a daily agenda of topics tasks because specifies what it students are supposed learn by engaging units activity around concepts. The expectation be phrased behavioral, measurable terms (see example verbs Figure 1), many educators rely upon...
