Foorman, Barbara R.; Wu, Yi-Chieh; Quinn, Jamie M.; Petscher, Yaacov – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
This investigation examined the structural relations among latent variables of language, decoding, and reading comprehension, invariance of the patterns of predictions, and unique and common variance over two years in grade cohorts 5 to 6, 7 to 8, and 9 to 10. Participants were 321 students in grade 5 in six elementary schools, 299 students in…

Kershaw, Sarah; Schatschneider, Chris – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2012
The present study utilized a latent variable modeling approach to examine the Simple View of Reading in a sample of students from 3rd, 7th, and 10th grades (N = 215, 188, and 180, respectively). Latent interaction modeling and other latent variable models were employed to investigate (a) the functional form of the relationship between decoding and…

Lawrence, Joshua Fahey – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2012
In this study, I used individual growth modeling methods to examine the English word-learning trajectories of adolescent students (N = 278) whose parents speak English at home (n = 210) and those whose parents speak a language other than English (n = 68). Sixth- (n = 130) and seventh-grade (n = 148) students attending an urban middle school took…
