Barbara L. Ekelman; Debra A. Dutka; Katherine Fox; Islamiat Adamoh-Faniyan; Astrid Pohl Zuckerman; Barbara A. Lewis – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2024
The purpose of this study was to identify kindergarteners at risk for language and reading disorders and to determine predictors. A representative sample of 311 kindergarteners in general education classrooms in the U.S. Midwest were assessed with the Well Screening in fall, winter, and spring. Groups were compared using analysis of variance…

Campbell, Janine Anne; Idsøe, E.; Størksen, I. – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2023
Low cost, non-invasive instruments for the identification of high academic potential in early childhood education and care are scarce, and the complexity of cognitive development indicates that combinations of screening instruments are needed. This study investigates the reliability and validity of three instruments (individually and in…

Bull, Rebecca; Lee, Kerry; Muñez, David – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Difficulties in mathematics are argued to stem from impairments of a specialized system of numerical magnitude representation. This study investigates whether different measures of numerical magnitude understanding in kindergarten uniquely predict mathematical achievement concurrently and 6 months later, and also examines the relative explanatory…

James R. Izzo – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Curriculum-based measurements (CBM) are used in schools to screen students for academic difficulties. Oral reading fluency curriculum-based measures (CBM-R) are the most popular, yet several studies have identified predictive bias in CBM-Rs in relation to key variables (e.g., race, sex). Despite a massive increase in the use of these measures as…

Uyanik Aktulun, Özgün; Keser, Merve – International Journal on Social and Education Sciences, 2021
The aims of this study are investigating the attention ability and geometry skills of 60-72-month-old children according to the socio-economic status and determining whether the attention ability significantly predicts the geometry skill when the socio-economic status is controlled. The accessible population of the research in the relational…

Kehoe, Karen F.; McGinty, Anita S.; Williford, Amanda P.; Whittaker, Jessica V. – Early Education and Development, 2021
Research Findings: This study used data from a large-scale kindergarten entry assessment (KEA) to understand how well two state screening measures, administered at school entry, predicted the first-grade reading outcomes of a large sample of first-time kindergarteners (N=5,480) at high risk for future reading failure. We examined young children's…

Schluter, Philip J.; Audas, Richard; Kokaua, Jesse; McNeill, Brigid; Taylor, Barry; Milne, Barry; Gillon, Gail – Child Development, 2020
Literacy success lays the foundation for children's later educational, health, and well-being outcomes. Thus, early identification of literacy need is vital. Using data from New Zealand's national preschool health screening program for fiscal years 2010/2011-2014/2015, demographic and health variables from 255,090 children aged 4 years were…

Pratt, Amy S.; Adams, Ashley M.; Peña, Elizabeth D.; Bedore, Lisa M. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2022
We explore the classification accuracy of a parent and teacher report measure, the Inventory to Assess Language Knowledge (ITALK), to screen for developmental language disorder (DLD) in bilingual children. Participants were 120 Spanish-English bilingual children with typical development (TD) and 19 bilingual children with DLD, ranging in age from…

Judith Solheim, Oddny; Torppa, Minna; Henning Uppstad, Per; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2021
Early identification of children at risk of developing reading difficulties is crucial for effective interventions. While orthographies and educational contexts differ, predictors included in early at-risk screening tend to remain rather homogeneous across countries. In this study, we compared longitudinal prediction patterns of being among the 20…

Jody Samuels – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Reading fluency involves a complex interaction of different cognitive skills and abilities that develop with instruction and practice and relies on the automaticity of many distinct reading skills (e.g., pacing, word recognition, expression, phonological awareness). Fluent reading frees cognitive resources, such as working memory, for more…

Reid, Erin K.; Keller-Margulis, Milena A.; Schanding, G. Thomas; Tolar, Tammy D. – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2019
A concerning number of students fail to achieve writing proficiency, yet little attention has been devoted to examining why this occurs. While robust evidence indicates that behavior impacts reading and math achievement, the relationship between behavior and writing skills is unclear, particularly among young students. The authors examined the…

von der Embse, Nathaniel; Jenkins, Andrew; West, Geoffrey; Eklund, Katie; Kilgus, Stephen; Morgan, Myesha – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
Universal screening is a promising and proactive method to detect emotional and behavioral risk in schools. To date, most of the research on screening has evaluated teacher report formats. Despite the potential benefits, there has been a general lack of research on student self-report particularly in elementary grade levels. The purpose of this…

Silverman, Rebecca D.; McNeish, Daniel; Speece, Deborah L.; Ritchey, Kristin D. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
The present study investigated the identification of end of first grade (n = 125) and end of third grade (n = 77) reading comprehension difficulties using beginning of first grade decoding-related and language-related predictors. Reading comprehension was defined using a composite of three standardized reading comprehension measures. Students at…

Lee, Lay Wah – Australian Journal of Learning Difficulties, 2021
The Malay language writing system is alphabetic and orthographically transparent. This study aimed to determine whether phonological processing skills predict Malay word-level literacy acquisition in Chinese children from a national-type Chinese primary school in Malaysia. A correlational study among 113 Year 1 Chinese children who are non-native…

Koon, Sharon; Foorman, Barbara; Galloway, Tara – Regional Educational Laboratory Southeast, 2020
North Carolina policymakers are interested in which screening and monitoring assessment scores in grades K-3 best predict reading proficiency at the end of grade 3 in order to help educators identify at-risk students, place them in interventions, and monitor their progress. Since 2013, the state has routinely administered screening and monitoring…
