Statement of Purpose and Method of Study: This descriptive research aimed to explore third-grade reading laws in nine southeastern states. The researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 participants from the states included in this study and integrated both quantitative archival reading assessment data and qualitative interview data…

Background: Collaborative reading can facilitate students' understanding of complex learning materials. High-quality annotations provided by peer learners are essential for successful collaborative reading. However, it remains to be understood how annotation quality affects reading comprehension. Objectives: A simulated collaborative reading…

Legislation based on the Science of Reading has spurred changes in teacher preparation and K-12 schools. Texas, a frequent leader in educational policy, adopted its own Science of Teaching Reading (STR) Framework with a focus on scientifically based instructional practices. Adoption of these standards is intended to improve methods of teaching…

In this article, the author argues that living literacies--relational, embodied forms of literacy engagement--are an integral component of literacy engagement and hold the potential to disrupt and reconfigure the power structures embedded within schooled literacy. Drawing on affect theory and rhizomatic theory, the author analyzes youths' literacy…

In the 21st century, the term "critical" has attached itself to numerous aspects of literacy research. However, what critical means remains commonly anchored to Freire and a primary critical reading practice--suspicious critique. Expanding critical literacy research (CLR), this article advances "reading orientations" as a…

There is limited research about Tier 3 interventions provided during typical school Response to Intervention (RTI) implementation. As part of a larger RTI exploration study designed to focus on students with the most intensive reading needs, our goal was to contrast their Tier 1 core reading instruction with their Tier 3 intervention. Schools…

Learning to read is of primary focus in the early grades. Reading can be a challenge for many students, especially those with disabilities. With rising class sizes, and more students with disabilities included in the general education setting, the need for more individualized support in literacy instruction is vital. Innovative approaches are…

Early childhood is a critical period for language and literacy development. One-way adults introduce children to the world of books is through picture books read-aloud. Adults from different cultural background engage in this activity differently, and to date, the early childhood field has emphasized a constructivist approach to book reading…

The objectives of this research were 1) To Study the current situation and expected situation of the enhancing sustainable reading ability of high school students. 2) To develop the strategies for the enhancing sustainable reading ability of high school students, and 3) To Evaluate the adaptability and feasibility of the strategies for sustainable…

In the evolving techno-educational landscape, it is crucial to reimagine transformative pedagogies based on techno-teacher collaboration to revolutionize teaching effectiveness and efficiency. Although the cutting-edge generative AI tool, Chat GPT, is speculated to be a revolutionary CALL (computer-assisted language learning) tool for teaching…

Headsprout is a commercially available, computer-based reading intervention that has been shown to be effective with children without disabilities and with children with ASD. Although recent studies that conducted a randomized clinical trial have demonstrated efficacy, they did not report specifically on feasibility. The current RCT evaluated the…

The effects of a computer-based reading intervention on whole word reading in three post-secondary students with intellectual and/or developmental disability were evaluated using a multiple baseline across tasks (i.e., word sets) design. Words were selected from each student's elective undergraduate social science course materials. During this…

Examining the impact of reading instruction on writing can help to refine the theoretical models to better explain how skills in reading support skills in writing and inform the development of literacy curricula that leverage the synergies between reading and writing instruction. Therefore, the purposes of this study are to investigate if the…

With the development of teaching theory, teaching workers gradually realize the importance of reading ability. Based on the development of new literature, this paper analyzes the relationship between students' reading ability and curriculum training through models. Combined with teaching cases, this paper integrates network-based learning…

Reading practice is crucial for students with reading difficulties, but locating texts for reading practice can be time-consuming for teachers. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools (e.g., ChatGPT) can rapidly create text according to specified parameters, but the application of creating content for reading intervention has not been examined. We used…
