This book was released on 2008 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study represents the third year of a three-year investigation of the effects of kindergarten literacy intervention on the reading risk of urban learners. The 41 available second-grade participants included African Americans (44%), European Americans (14%), and English language learners (ELLs) (22%). All of the participants were from low socioeconomic backgrounds and qualified for free or reduced lunch. The three groups consisted of 13 students who had received one year of supplementary early literacy intervention, 14 students who had received two years of supplementary early literacy intervention, and 14 comparison students who did not receive supplementary intervention. During Year 3 none of the three groups received supplemental instruction. This year was devoted to follow-up assessments of the students' reading performance one to two years following intervention. All participants were progressively monitored on oral reading fluency and comprehension as measured by the DIBELS. Additionally, the three groups were compared pre- and posttest on the Woodcock Johnson-III and the CTOPP. Thus, the purpose of this year of follow-up was to determine the relative second-grade reading status of students relative to the amount of treatment they received. A secondary interest was to assess the relative performance of some especially high-risk subgroups such as ELLs and African American males. Data were analyzed with regression models, contrasts, growth curves, and repeated measures mixed-effects modeling. Results showed that the strong responders (One-Year ERI Treatment students) maintained gains made from the intervention and performed higher than their initially higher performing comparison peers (Comparison group) on all measures assessed. The treatment resistors (Two-Year ERI Treatment students) continued to make progress through second grade, but the gains were not large enough to close the reading gap. Many of the Comparison students, who were initially at low or no risk in kindergarten, were found to have lost ground, and were at risk for reading failure. Some of the ELLs showed similar reading performance to their Non-ELL peers and continued to maintain the reading gains made through the end of second grade. The African American males were found to be reading at approximately one grade level lower than their same age peers and the achievement gap continued to widen with time. The findings highlight the importance of early literacy intervention, progressive monitoring, and continued supplementary instruction to prevent and minimize reading risk.

This book was released on 1998-07-22 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most children learn to read fairly well, there remain many young Americans whose futures are imperiled because they do not read well enough to meet the demands of our competitive, technology-driven society. This book explores the problem within the context of social, historical, cultural, and biological factors. Recommendations address the identification of groups of children at risk, effective instruction for the preschool and early grades, effective approaches to dialects and bilingualism, the importance of these findings for the professional development of teachers, and gaps that remain in our understanding of how children learn to read. Implications for parents, teachers, schools, communities, the media, and government at all levels are discussed. The book examines the epidemiology of reading problems and introduces the concepts used by experts in the field. In a clear and readable narrative, word identification, comprehension, and other processes in normal reading development are discussed. Against the background of normal progress, Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children examines factors that put children at risk of poor reading. It explores in detail how literacy can be fostered from birth through kindergarten and the primary grades, including evaluation of philosophies, systems, and materials commonly used to teach reading.
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Schools Schooling and Human Development written by Judith L. Meece and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children spend more time in school than in any social institution outside the home. And schools probably exert more influence on children’s development and life chances than any environment beyond the home and neighbourhood. The purpose of this book is to document some important ways schools influence children’s development and to describe various models and methods for studying schooling effects. Key features include: Comprehensive Coverage – this is the first book to provide a comprehensive review of what is known about schools as a context for human development. Topical coverage ranges from theoretical foundations to investigative methodologies and from classroom-level influences such as teacher-student relations to broader influences such as school organization and educational policies. Cross-Disciplinary – this volume brings together the divergent perspectives, methods and findings of scholars from a variety of disciplines, among them educational psychology, developmental psychology, school psychology, social psychology, psychiatry, sociology, and educational policy. Chapter Structure – to ensure continuity, chapter authors describe 1) how schooling influences are conceptualized 2) identify their theoretical and methodological approaches 3) discuss the strengths and weaknesses of existing research and 4) highlight implications for future research, practice, and policy. Methodologies – chapters included in the text feature various methodologies including longitudinal studies, hierarchical linear models, experimental and quasi-experimental designs, and mixed methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Volume III, as in Volumes I and II, the classic topics of reading are included--from vocabulary and comprehension to reading instruction in the classroom--and, in addition, each contributor was asked to include a brief history that chronicles the legacies within each of the volume's many topics. However, on the whole, Volume III is not about tradition. Rather, it explores the verges of reading research between the time Volume II was published in 1991 and the research conducted after this date. The editors identified two broad themes as representing the myriad of verges that have emerged since Volumes I and II were published: (1) broadening the definition of reading, and (2) broadening the reading research program. The particulars of these new themes and topics are addressed.
