This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, an increasing number of students with intellectual disability (ID) have taken statewide general reading assessments. Also, all states have designed and implemented alternate reading assessments for students with significant ID who could not participate in general assessments. To date, few studies have examined the reading outcomes of students with ID on those assessments and none of these studies have examined whether outcomes from statewide assessments have predictive value for students' later school outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between students with ID's 5th grade reading performance as measured by statewide standardized assessments and their later academic and behavior outcomes, including 8th grade reading, as measured by the statewide standardized assessment, and the following secondary school outcomes: (a) school attendance, (b) credits earned in one semester, (c) office discipline referrals, and (d) suspensions received. This study also aimed to examine whether students' ethnicity/race and the type of school attended in middle and high school had an impact on their academic and behavior outcomes. A longitudinal dataset including a sample of 400 students with ID attending schools in a Midwestern school district was used to answer this study's research questions. Regression tests were run to examine whether (a) 5th grade reading performance, (b) ethnicity/race, and (c) type of middle and high school attended significantly predicted the students' middle and high school outcomes. Regression tests revealed significant and non-significant results. Students with ID's 5th grade reading achievement significantly predicted their 8th grade reading achievement in the alternate assessment. Also, students' 5th grade reading achievement significantly predicted their secondary ODRs and suspensions received. In terms of ethnicity/race, White students with ID had significantly higher secondary attendance days and received significantly less secondary suspensions compared to their non-White counterparts. Finally, students with ID attending innovative schools received significantly higher secondary ODRs compared to their counterparts attending traditional schools. Implications of these results were discussed. Recommendations for future research were provided.

Download or read book Explaining Individual Differences in Reading written by Susan A. Brady and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research into reading development and reading disabilities has been dominated by phonologically guided theories for several decades. In this volume, the authors of 11 chapters report on a wide array of current research topics, examining the scope, limits and implications of a phonological theory. The chapters are organized in four sections. The first concerns the nature of the relations between script and speech that make reading possible, considering how different theories of phonology may illuminate the implication of these relations for reading development and skill. The second set of chapters focuses on phonological factors in reading acquisition that pertain to early language development, effects of dialect, the role of instruction, and orthographic learning. The third section identifies factors beyond the phonological that may influence success in learning to read by examining cognitive limitations that are sometimes co-morbid with reading disabilities, contrasting the profiles of specific language impairment and dyslexia, and considering the impact of particular languages and orthographies on language acquisition. Finally, in the fourth section, behavioral-genetic and neurological methods are used to further develop explanations of reading differences and early literacy development. The volume is an essential resource for researchers interested in the cognitive foundations of reading and literacy, language and communication disorders, or psycholinguistics; and those working in reading disabilities, learning disabilities, special education, and the teaching of reading.
Download or read book Teachers Knowledge about Early Reading written by Joanne F. Carlisle and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study developed a new survey of teachers' knowledge about early reading and examined the effects of teachers' knowledge on students' reading achievement in Grades 1 to 3 in a large sample of Michigan schools. Using statistical models that controlled for teachers' personal and professional characteristics, students' prior reading achievement, and the clustering of high-knowledge teachers in schools and school districts with particular demographic composition, we found that the effects of teachers' knowledge about early reading on students' reading achievement were small. In 1st grade, students in classrooms headed by higher knowledge teachers performed better on year-end tests of reading comprehension but not word analysis. In 2nd and 3rd grades, the effects of teachers' knowledge on either measure of students' reading achievement were not statistically significant. Although the study suggests new forms of statistical analysis that might produce better estimates of the effects of teachers' knowledge on students' reading achievement, further research is needed to improve the conceptual and psychometric properties of measures of teachers' knowledge of reading and to investigate the relation of their knowledge and their instructional practices. Appended are: (1) Teachers' Knowledge about Reading and Reading Practices; and (2) Variables Included in the Propensity Score Analysis. (Contains 6 tables, 2 figures, and 6 footnotes.).

Download or read book The Cognitive Development of Reading and Reading Comprehension written by Carol McDonald Connor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to read may be the most complex cognitive operation that children are expected to master, and the latest research in cognitive development has offered important insights into how children succeed or fail at this task. The Cognitive Development of Reading and Reading Comprehension is a multidisciplinary, evidence-based resource for teachers and researchers that examines reading comprehension from a cognitive development perspective, including the principal theories and methods used in the discipline. The book combines research into basic cognitive processes—genetics, perception, memory, executive functioning, and language—with an investigation of the effects that context and environment have on literacy outcomes, making clear how factors such as health, family life, community, policy, and ecology can influence children’s cognitive development.
Download or read book The Achievement Gap in Reading written by Rosalind Horowitz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume prominent scholars, experts in their respective fields and highly skilled in the research they conduct, address educational and reading research from varied perspectives and address what it will take to close the achievement gap—with specific attention to reading. The achievement gap is redefined as a level at which all groups can compete economically in our society and have the literacy tools and habits needed for a good life. Bringing valuable theoretical frameworks and in-depth analytical approaches to interpretation of data, the contributors examine factors that contribute to student achievement inside the school but which are also heavily influenced by out-of-school factors—such as poverty and economics, ethnicity and culture, family and community stratifications, and approaches to measurement of achievement. These out-of-school factors present possibilities for new policies and practice. The overarching theme is that achievement gaps in reading are complex and that multiple perspectives are necessary to address the problem. The breadth and depth of perspectives and content in this volume and its conceptualization of the achievement gap are a significant contribution to the field.

Download or read book Reading Achievement for Students with Autism and Students with Learning Disability written by Jenny Lynn Quan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students with ASD present as unique learners with individual characteristics which may impact their reading performance, particularly related to word reading and comprehension. While a relatively new area of research in reading, students with ASD demonstrate a pattern of below average performance on standardized measures of reading achievement, with comprehension identified as a salient area of deficit. Research remains limited in this area, however, particularly with regard to assessment of the five key areas of reading (phonological awareness, word reading/ decoding, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension). The current study provides an in-depth look at the five key areas of reading for 28 elementary-school students with a confirmed ASD and compares the reading performance of these students with a comparison group of 30 students with SLD who would be expected to show the reverse pattern of performance on reading measures (e.g., deficits in decoding and strengths in comprehension). Additionally, a mixed-methods approach is used in the exploratory examination of student reading behaviors related to comprehension. Findings indicate patterns of strengths and weaknesses for both groups of students across the five key areas, with both groups falling well below expected population norms and benchmarks in phonological awareness, decoding, fluency, and passage comprehension. In contrast, students from both groups excelled on a measure of supported comprehension. Students with ASD performed at higher levels than peers with SLD on measures of word reading and fluency, but not on measures of phonological awareness or decoding. Conversely, students with SLD performed at higher levels than peers with ASD on a measure of listening comprehension, but not on measures of vocabulary, supported comprehension, or passage comprehension. Exploratory investigation revealed that teachers perceived that students with SLD use reading behaviors at a higher rate and with a higher level of proficiency to promote comprehension than peers with ASD. Further, student interviews demonstrated that students who were low comprehenders used fewer and more passive strategies than students who were high comprehenders, regardless of ASD or SLD group membership. Implications for practice and future research are noted.
