Michael S. Mott; Regan Morse; Lauren Saltzman; Daniel H. Robinson – Educational Research: Theory and Practice, 2025
Classroom lighting, when set to high luminous (lx) and cooler correlated color temperature (CCT) conditions, can increase student focus, concentration, and oral reading fluency (Mott et al., 2012; 2014). However, when illuminance is too high and color temperature is too cool, irritating and adverse effects can occur such as visual fatigue and…

Background: Young children clearly know quite a bit about the conventions of written language; for instance, 5-year-old children are sensitive to the fact that words tend to include both consonants and vowels, rather than just one or the other. The core theoretical debate lies in whether this understanding of sub-lexical orthographic regularities…
