Steacy, Laura M.; Fuchs, Douglas; Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Kearns, Devin M.; Elleman, Amy M.; Edwards, Ashley A. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine word learning efficiency in at-risk first grade students (N = 93) participating in a yearlong study evaluating a multicomponent intervention targeting word reading and decoding skills. As part of each intervention lesson, students participated in a 1 to 3-min sight word reading activity in which…

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…

Lai, Stephanie A.; George Benjamin, Rebekah; Schwanenflugel, Paula J.; Kuhn, Melanie R. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2014
Fluent readers can read connected text with accuracy, automaticity, and prosody. Without practice, automaticity cannot develop in reading, and readers must focus their attention on decoding, limiting their ability to simultaneously comprehend. Researchers have traditionally assumed that fluency and comprehension have a unidirectional relationship…

Berninger, Virginia W.; Abbott, Robert D.; Trivedi, Pamala; Olson, Erin; Gould, Laura; Hiramatsu, Sandra; Holsinger, Marta; McShane, Margaret; Murphy, Heather; Norton, Jennifer; Boyd, Annie Scuilli; York Westhaggen, Susanna – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2010
In Study 1 we evaluated whether each of three kinds of reading fluency (oral, silent-sentences, silent-passages) contributed uniquely to reading comprehension when children were in second grade (when oral reading is emphasized) and again when they were in fourth grade (when silent reading is emphasized). In Study 2 we evaluated the relationship of…
