Schumacher, Robin F.; Jayanthi, Madhavi; Gersten, Russell; Dimino, Joseph; Spallone, Samantha; Haymond, Kelly S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2018
A formative pilot study of a fractions intervention was conducted to address the intervention's potential for improving fifth-grade struggling students' knowledge of fractions, and to identify any logistical or instructional design issues, before scaling up for a randomized control trial. In the first section, we provide details of the formative…

Gersten, Russell; Clarke, Benjamin S.; Jordan, Nancy C. – Center on Instruction, 2007
A major advance in the field of reading over the past 15 years has been the development and validation of screening measures that can detect with reasonable accuracy those kindergartners and first graders likely to experience difficulty in learning to read. Increasingly, these students now receive additional instructional support during the…
