Adam J. Lekwa; Joseph Deegan; Christian Mathews – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2025
Drawing on cognitive theory in reading comprehension, Sentence Order Fluency (SOF) is proposed as a method for monitoring progress in reading comprehension. In this article, we present results of a pilot study on SOF conducted between April and June 2023, with a group of 119 students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 in a charter school in the mid-Atlantic…

Ethan R. Van Norman; Emily R. Forcht – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2024
Curriculum-based measurement of reading (CBM-R) is a common assessment educators use to monitor student growth in broad reading skills and evaluate the effectiveness of instructional programs. Computer-adaptive tests (CATs), such as Star Reading, have been cited as a viable option to formatively assess reading growth. We used Bayesian…

Andrea Fraser – in education, 2024
This qualitative study surfaced beliefs around reading instruction and reading development at the onset of an elementary literacy methods course. Prior understandings and knowledge around reading instruction and reading acquisition emerge through various experiences and have the potential to contradict notions presented by teacher educators. This…

Forthmann, Boris; Förster, Natalie; Souvignier, Elmar – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
Monitoring the progress of student learning is an important part of teachers' data-based decision making. One such tool that can equip teachers with information about students' learning progress throughout the school year and thus facilitate monitoring and instructional decision making is learning progress assessments. In practical contexts and…

van Dijk, Wilhelmina; Pico, Danielle L.; Kaplan, Rachel; Contesse, Valentina; Lane, Holly B. – Computers in the Schools, 2022
The use of online literacy applications is proliferating in elementary classrooms. Using data generated by these applications is assumed to be helpful for teachers to identify struggling readers. Unfortunately, many teachers are unsure how to use and interpret the plethora of data from these apps. In this longitudinal study, we followed a cohort…

Brizill, Nicole Lynn – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Due to barriers to kindergarten readiness, many kindergarten students do not enter kindergarten with the prerequisite skills needed for reading. A number of students do not leave kindergarten with adequate reading skills needed for future success. As a result, students are ill-prepared for first grade and are at risk for future reading failure.…

Van Norman, Ethan R.; Nelson, Peter M. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
The current study evaluated whether goal-setting practices that account for seasonal developmental patterns of reading growth decreased the number of weeks data needed to be collected in order to yield accurate response to intervention decisions for a sample of 224 third-grade students. The extent to which more complex decision-making practices…

The Early Literacy Program focuses on the development of early literacy skills, with additional emphasis on intervention for students at risk of not meeting grade-based reading benchmarks. Districts and charter schools (LEAs) assess, and report to the state, students' reading composites and benchmarks three (3) times a year using the Acadience…

Van Norman, Ethan R. – School Psychology, 2021
Despite repeated findings that within-year growth in oral reading rate is nonlinear for many students, existing decision-making frameworks to evaluate response to intervention assume that growth is linear across an entire school year. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the consequences of failing to account for nonlinear growth among…

Kendeou, Panayiota; McMaster, Kristen L.; Butterfuss, Reese; Kim, Jasmine; Slater, Susan; Bulut, Okan – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
The overall aim of the current investigation was to develop and validate the initial version of the Minnesota Inference Assessment (MIA). MIA is a web-based measure of inference processes in Grades K-2. MIA leverages the affordances of different media to evaluate inference processes in a nonreading context, using age-appropriate fiction and…

Ernesto Ortiz Jr. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This qualitative case study examined the contribution a year-long professional development in the science of reading had on 10 first-grade teachers' knowledge of how reading develops and their instructional practices. Data for this research study was collected through a longitudinal interview process, from pre- and post-knowledge inventory…

Van Norman, Ethan R.; Nelson, Peter M. – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2021
Educators and researchers measure student improvement in words read correct per minute (WRCM) to evaluate student response to reading interventions. The utility of evaluating improvement in WRCM via curriculum-based measures to make instructional decisions is based upon the assumption that growth in WRCM is predictive of performance on meaningful…
