Jiwon Hwang; Sam Choo; Stephanie Morano; Mengyuan Liang; Matthew Kabel – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2024
Recent studies have posited that K-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education should go beyond traditional subject silos and take an interdisciplinary approach that integrates these core subjects into a cohesive curriculum to foster authentic problem-solving skills. The purpose of this study was to field test one of five…

Rachel Schechter; Colin Ackerman; Krystina Raymond – Online Submission, 2025
As students move beyond foundational decoding, many still require targeted support to develop vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. IMSE's Morphology+ program meets this need through explicit, systematic instruction in prefixes, suffixes, and Latin and Greek roots. Designed for grades 3-5, the program uses multimodal strategies and embedded…

Catherine Mimeau; Jessie Ricketts; S. Hélène Deacon – Journal of Research in Reading, 2025
Background: Prominent theories of reading make the prediction that individual differences in children's word learning capacity determine the pace of their acquisition of reading skill. Despite the developmental nature of some of these theories, most empirical research to date has explored the relation between word learning capacity and reading at…

Sung Hee Lee – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2024
Students with reading disabilities generally know fewer words (breadth) with less in-depth knowledge of those words (depth) than typical students. The present study examined the effects of a "moderately rich vocabulary instruction" in which both breadth and depth of vocabulary are addressed. Nineteen U.S. 4th- and 5th-grade students with…

Sara A. Sukalski – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Proficient reading requires the ability to analyze words for various properties, including pronunciation, meaning, and syntactical function. However, most instruction in word analysis is limited to phonics instruction provided in the early elementary grades. For older students, whose words largely center units of meaning, or morphemes, early…
