Pierratos, Theodoros – Physics Education, 2021
Due to the conditions imposed worldwide by the pandemic, students' access to school laboratories is limited, if not impossible. To provide students with raw experimental data to assess, analyse and reason out, we have filmed experiments that can be used in a flipped classroom. This paper presents an experiment which makes use of an array of six…

Grinstead, John; Padilla-Reyes, Ramón; Nieves-Rivera, Melissa – Language Learning and Development, 2021
A locus of the difference in meaning between distributive and collective sentences can be the quantifiers that modify their subjects.

Fletcher, Jack M.; Francis, David J.; Foorman, Barbara R.; Schatschneider, Christopher – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
Many states now mandate early screening for dyslexia, but vary in how they address these mandates. There is confusion about the nature of screening versus diagnostic assessments, risk versus diagnosis, concurrent versus predictive validity, and inattention to indices of classification accuracy as the basis for determining risk. To help define what…

Long, Debra L.; Freed, Erin M. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
Previous research has generally focused on understanding individual variation in either on-line processing or off-line comprehension even though some theories explicitly link difficulty in processing to comprehension problems. The goal of the current study was to examine individual variation in performance both during on-line and off-line reading…

Johnson, Robert C.; Tweedie, M. Gregory – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2021
It has been widely asserted that general English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in postsecondary education has a limited future, given both the benefits of discipline-specific EAP, and the widespread use by universities of international standardized assessments for proof of English language proficiency (such as IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, etc.). The extra…

Morrison, Timothy G.; Wilcox, Brad; Bird, Lauren; Murdoch, Erica; Bursey, Hannah; Helvey, McKenzie – Reading Psychology, 2020
The Common Core has emphasized reading for comprehension, including making inferences. However, little is known about the instructional materials included in core literacy programs for teaching inferences. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of background, anaphoric, predictive, and retrospective inferences in instructional…

Wetter, Sara E.; Fuhs, Mary; Goodnight, Jackson A. – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
For young children, sleep is essential for healthy development. Inadequate sleep can affect emotional, behavioural, cognitive, and health outcomes. Low family income and resources can put children at risk for poor sleep quality, impairing their subsequent cognitive abilities. The current study examined low socioeconomic status (SES) as a factor…

VanMeveren, Kalie; Hulac, David; Wollersheim-Shervey, Sarah – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2020
Reading screening assessments help educators identify students who are at risk of reading and determine the need for intervention and supports. However, some schools screen and assess students more often than needed, and the additional information does not improve the accuracy of decisions. This may be especially true for students at the upper…

Tomblin, J. Bruce; Oleson, Jake; Ambrose, Sophie E.; Walker, Elizabeth A.; Moeller, Mary P. – Child Development, 2020
This study contrasted the early literacy outcomes of children who are hard of hearing (CHH) with children with normal hearing (CNH). At age 5, prereading skills of oral language, phonological processing, and print knowledge were examined in CHH (N = 180) and CNH (N = 80). The CHH had poorer oral language and phonological processing abilities than…
