Lin, Xin; Powell, Sarah R. – Review of Educational Research, 2022
In the present meta-analysis, we systematically investigated the relative contributions of students' initial mathematics, reading, and cognitive skills on subsequent mathematics performance measured at least 3 months later. With one-stage meta-analytic structural equation modeling, we conducted analyses based on 580,437 students from 265…

Anaya, Lina; Stafford, Frank; Zamarro, Gema – Education Economics, 2022
Despite the promising future of employment opportunities in occupations related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), women remain underrepresented in some STEM occupational fields. We use data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to study the role of gender differences in achievement and self-perceived ability in math…

Compton, Donald L.; Pearson, P. David – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
This special issue of "JREE" ["Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness"] features studies from three of the teams (Barnes, Stuebing, Fletcher, Barth, & Francis; Language and Reading Research Consortium, Arthur, & Davis; LaRusso et al.) supported by the Institute of Education Sciences--Reading for Understanding…

Nassaji, Hossein – Language Teaching, 2014
This article examines current research on the role and importance of lower-level processes in second language (L2) reading. The focus is on word recognition and its subcomponent processes, including various phonological and orthographic processes. Issues related to syntactic and semantic processes and their relationship with word recognition are…

Nelson, Nickola Wolf; Crumpton, Teresa – Topics in Language Disorders, 2015
Working with students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) can raise questions about whether language and literacy delays and difficulties are related directly to late and limited access to spoken language, to co-occurring language learning disabilities (LLD), or to both. A new Test of Integrated Language and Literacy Skills, which incorporates…

Protopapas, Athanassios; Mouzaki, Angeliki; Sideridis, Georgios D.; Kotsolakou, Areti; Simos, Panagiotis G. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2013
The simple view of reading posits that reading comprehension can be decomposed into a print-specific component (concerning decoding and sight word reading) and a language comprehension component (concerning verbal and metalinguistic skills not related to print). One might properly consider lexical skills, indexed by vocabulary measures, part of…

Verhoeven, Ludo; van Leeuwe, Jan; Vermeer, Anne – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2011
The associations between vocabulary growth and reading development were examined longitudinally for a representative sample of Dutch children throughout the elementary school period. Data on basic and advanced vocabulary, word decoding, and reading comprehension were collected across the different grades. The results showed significant progress on…

Melby-Lervag, Monica – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2012
The acknowledgement that educational achievement is highly dependent on successful reading development has led to extensive research on its underlying factors. A strong argument has been made for a causal relationship between reading and phoneme awareness; similarly, causal relations have been suggested for reading with short-term memory and rhyme…

Cunningham, James W.; Mesmer, Heidi Anne – Elementary School Journal, 2014
Common Core Reading Standard 10 not only prescribes the difficulty of texts students should become able to read, but also the difficulty diet of texts schools should ask their students to read across the school year. The use of quantitative text-assessment tools in the implementation of this standard warrants an examination into the validity of…

Snyder, Lynn – Topics in Language Disorders, 2010
In the past 12 years, middle and high school students across the United States have read with declining levels of proficiency compared to both international and national standards. It is thought that American students' overall low reading performance is related to the amount of expository material they must read with advancing grade levels. This…

Predicting Word Decoding and Word Spelling Development in Children with Specific Language Impairment
van Weerdenburg, Marjolijn; Verhoeven, Ludo; Bosman, Anna; van Balkom, Hans – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2011
This longitudinal investigation on Dutch children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) aimed at determining the predictive value of statistically uncorrelated language proficiencies on later reading and spelling skills in Dutch. Language abilities, tested with an extensive test battery at the onset of formal reading instruction, were…

Hogan, Tiffany P. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
In this study, we examined the influence of word-level phonological and lexical characteristics on early phoneme awareness. Typically developing children, ages 61 to 78 months, completed a phoneme-based, odd-one-out task that included consonant-vowel-consonant word sets (e.g., "chair-chain-ship") that varied orthogonally by a phonological…

Galletly, Susan A.; Knight, Bruce Allen – Australian Educational Researcher, 2011
The PISA studies of reading achievement of 15 year old students in OECD and partner nations show Anglophone nations to have continuing high proportions of weak readers (less than or equal to Level 2), with no improvement in this area from 2000 to 2006 (OECD, "Science competencies for tomorrow's world: Executive summary," 2007). The…

Torppa, Minna; Eklund, Kenneth; van Bergen, Elsje; Lyytinen, Heikki – Dyslexia, 2011
This family-risk (FR) study examined whether the literacy skills of parents with dyslexia are predictive of the literacy skills of their offspring. We report data from 31 child-parent dyads where both had dyslexia (FR-D) and 68 dyads where the child did not have dyslexia (FR-ND). Findings supported the differences in liability of FR children with…

Kirby, John R.; Georgiou, George K.; Martinussen, Rhonda; Parrila, Rauno – Reading Research Quarterly, 2010
Current theoretical interpretations of naming speed and the research literature on its relation to reading are reviewed in this article. The authors examine naming speed's effects across languages and the shape of its relationship to reading. Also considered is the double-deficit hypothesis, by which students with both slow naming speed and low…
