Tighe, Elizabeth L.; Kaldes, Gal; Talwar, Amani; Crossley, Scott A.; Greenberg, Daphne; Skalicky, Stephen – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2023
Comprehension monitoring is a meta-cognitive skill that is defined as the ability to self-evaluate one's comprehension of text. Although it is known that struggling adult readers are poor at monitoring their comprehension, additional research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying comprehension monitoring and their role in reading…

Ben Seipel; Patrick C. Kennedy; Sarah E. Carlson; Virginia Clinton-Lisell; Mark L. Davison – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2023
As access to higher education increases, it is important to monitor students with special needs to facilitate the provision of appropriate resources and support. Although metrics such as the "reading readiness" ACT (formerly American College Testing) of provide insight into how many students may need such resources, they do not specify…

Steinle, Paul K.; Stevens, Elizabeth; Vaughn, Sharon – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
This systematic review synthesizes fluency intervention research for struggling readers in Grades 6 through 12 from January 2006 to October 2019. The search yielded 17 studies examining reading fluency and comprehension outcomes. Most studies examined repeated reading (RR) interventions to improve reading fluency for struggling readers at these…

Abigail Howard-Gosse; Bradley W. Bergey; S. Hélène Deacon – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Given the increase in students with learning disabilities entering university, we investigated a broader group--students with a history of reading difficulties (HRD)--who are known to be at risk of academic struggles. We identified the self-reported reading challenges and strategies of university students with HRD (n = 49) and those with no…

Ahmed, Yusra; Miciak, Jeremy; Taylor, W. Pat; Francis, David J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
We evaluate the direct and inferential mediation (DIME) model for reading comprehension with a sample of struggling readers in Grades 3 to 5 (N = 364) in the context of a large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating two theoretically distinct reading interventions (text processing + foundational skills [n = 117] or text processing…

Talwar, Amani; Greenberg, Daphne; Tighe, Elizabeth L.; Li, Hongli – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
The Simple View of Reading (SVR), which posits that reading comprehension is the product of decoding and linguistic comprehension, has been studied extensively with school-age readers. However, little is known about the intricacies of the SVR for adults who struggle with reading. This study addresses notable gaps in this literature, including the…

Daniel, Johny; Vaughn, Sharon; Roberts, Gregory; Grills, Amie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
To address the needs of a diverse group of students with reading difficulties, a majority of researchers over the last decade have designed and implemented multicomponent reading interventions (MCRIs) that provide instruction in multiple areas of reading yielding mixed results. The current study evaluates whether students' baseline word reading…

Washburn, Jocelyn – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
In this article, I systematically review evidence on the relations between oral reading fluency (ORF) and reading comprehension (RC) for adolescents with limited reading proficiency (ALRP) in Grades 6 to12. I organized findings from 23 studies into five themes: (a) unclear role of ORF in the simple view of reading model for ALRP, (b) ALRP have…

Vaughn, Sharon; Grills, Amie E.; Capin, Philip; Roberts, Greg; Fall, Anna-Mária; Daniel, Johny – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
We present findings from the first cohort of third- and fourth-grade students with reading difficulties (128 students from 31 classrooms) who participated in a 2-year intervention examining the effects of a reading intervention with and without anxiety management. Using a randomized controlled trial, students were assigned to one of three…

Saha, Neena M.; Del Tufo, Stephanie N.; Cutting, Laurie E. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
Learning to read relies upon the integration of phonological, orthographic, and semantic information. However, no studies have investigated how children with varying reading abilities learn phonological-orthographic (PO) and semantic aspects of novel words as a function of both learning approach (LA; e.g., learning new words in isolation or…

Filderman, Marissa J.; Toste, Jessica R. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
For students who show inadequate response to research-based intervention, intensification of intervention using data-based decision making (DBDM) is recommended. There is a paucity of research on upper elementary students related to the efficacy of (a) word reading interventions and (b) DBDM procedures. This randomized controlled trial examined…

Wagner, Richard K.; Zirps, Fotena A.; Edwards, Ashley A.; Wood, Sarah G.; Joyner, Rachel E.; Becker, Betsy J.; Liu, Guangyun; Beal, Bethany – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
How prevalent is dyslexia? A definitive answer to this question has been elusive because of the continuous distribution of reading performance and predictors of dyslexia and because of the heterogeneous nature of samples of poor readers. Samples of poor readers are a mixture of individuals whose reading is consistent with or expected based on…

Clemens, Nathan H.; Hsiao, Yu-Yu; Lee, Kejin; Martinez-Lincoln, Amanda; Moore, Clinton; Toste, Jessica; Simmons, Leslie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
Reading comprehension tests vary in format and characteristics, which may influence the extent to which component skills are involved in test performance. With students in Grades 6 to 8 with reading difficulties, dominance analyses examined the differential importance of component reading and language skills (word- and text-reading fluency,…

Sideridis, Georgios D.; Simos, Panagiotis; Mouzaki, Angeliki; Stamovlasis, Dimitrios; Georgiou, George K. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
The purpose of the present study was to explain the moderating role of rapid automatized naming (RAN) in word reading with a cusp catastrophe model. We hypothesized that increases in RAN performance speed beyond a critical point would be associated with the disruption in word reading, consistent with a "generic shutdown" hypothesis.…

Taboada Barber, Ana; Klauda, Susan Lutz; Wang, Weimeng; Cartwright, Kelly B.; Cutting, Laurie E. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
This study centered on emergent bilingual (EB) students with specific reading comprehension deficits (S-RCD), that is, with poor reading comprehension despite solid word identification skills. The participants were 209 students in Grades 2 to 4, including both EBs and English monolinguals (EMs) with and without S-RCD. Mean comparisons indicated…
