Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 200 years of research in the field of learning disabilities have provided us with a vast body of knowledge, albeit without answering the fundamental questions: what and why. Today, it is widely accepted that learning disabilities or specific learning disabilities represent a real situation, which is mainly related to education, but also has long-term consequences in the social and professional life of individuals, who may be “smart”, but not know how to learn. This book examines transdisciplinary psychoeducational learning disability evaluation procedures, along with intervention programs aiming to recognize the strengths of students with learning disabilities and address their needs. More specifically, it reviews the origins and evolution of such assessment models and evidence-informed intervention practices, and provides guidance and implications for practice and research. The book will furnish educators and other school-based professionals with a better understanding of the nuances and challenges of the field, allowing them to build their capacity of working with such student populations.

McCarthy and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The current study examined predictive validity of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) for future performance on the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination (WKCE). The intent of the study was 1) to explore the overall validity for the use of DIBELS assessments with English-learner (EL) students and 2) to compare the predictive validity between EL and non-EL students. Spring of first grade performance on the DIBELS assessments of Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF), Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (PSF), and Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) was compared to Fall of third grade performance on the WKCE for 450 non-EL students and 58 EL students. The EL students were primarily of Hmong-speaking background. Comparisons were then made between the predictive validity of DIBELS assessments for EL and non-EL students to determine if there was a difference in how well these assessments correlated with future WKCE performance. NWF and ORF appear to have the strongest predictive validity for future WKCE performance for EL students, with ORF being the more significantly correlated assessment between the two. ORF and NWF were also the two most strongly correlated assessments for the non-EL students. When reflecting on the predictive validity differences between EL and non-EL students, the correlation was much stronger for the non-EL students, suggesting that the DIBELS assessments are better predictors for WKCE performance for non-EL students overall. Findings are discussed in terms of the relationship between the DIBELS assessments' predictive validity for the WKCE for EL and non-EL students. Limitations and implications for future research are also discussed." -pages iii-iv
Download or read book Comparing the Predictive Validity of Kindergarten Static and Dynamic Reading Assessments for Second Through Fifth Grade Reading Outcomes written by Shelbi L. Gragg and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To extend the predictive validity research by Petersen and colleagues (2014) by obtaining second, third, fourth, and fifth grade reading outcome data from 600 participants who were administered static and dynamic measures of reading at kindergarten in 2010. Method: The relationship between a kindergarten dynamic assessment of decoding, two kindergarten static assessments, and later reading fluency outcomes across grades 2 through 5 were examined using Pearson’s product moment correlations. After identifying the dynamic and static assessment variables that were significantly correlated with later reading outcomes, the predictive validity of those measures was examined separately, then together using logistic regression and Receiver Operator Characteristic analyses. Results: The kindergarten static and dynamic assessments were significantly predictive of reading difficulty. However, the kindergarten dynamic assessment accounted for unique variance in later reading ability over and above the kindergarten static assessments. In addition, the kindergarten dynamic assessment was considerably more accurate at identifying children with and without reading difficulty at the end of second through fifth grade than the kindergarten static assessments and the combination of the dynamic and static measures. Implication: This study provides additional information on the predictive validity of a kindergarten dynamic assessment of decoding for reading outcomes for students in second through fifth grade. Such information may help clinicians better identify future reading difficulty so that the early identification and prevention of reading disorders can take place.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Districts and schools use progress monitoring to assess student progress, to identify students who fail to respond to intervention, and to further adapt instruction to student needs. Researchers and practitioners often use progress monitoring data to estimate student achievement growth (slope) and evaluate changes in performance over time for individual students and groups of students. Monitoring student progress is central to accountability systems in general and is useful for measuring how well students respond to instruction or intervention. Progress monitoring entails tracking individual growth across the academic year. Thus, it is important to understand why individual students differ on an outcome beyond what can be known by accounting for performance on a status assessment. This study examines the relations among descriptive measures of growth (simple difference and average difference) and inferential measures (ordinary least squares and empirical Bayes) for students in grades 3-10 and considers how well such measures statistically explain differences in end-of-year reading comprehension after controlling for student performance on a mid-year status assessment. The study also looks at how the results change when controlling for initial (fall) and final (spring) status and when the relations among individual growth curves, status, and end-of-year reading comprehension performance depend on end-of-year reading comprehension performance.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted in order to determine if there are any progress monitoring probes through Curriculum Based Measurement that are predictors of reading achievement on the Development Reading Assessment. The reading probes include; Letter Naming Fluency (LNF), Letter Sound Fluency (LSF), Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (PSF), Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF), and Reading Fluency (RCBM). The data was retrieved from a rural school district in Missouri. It consisted of four first grade classrooms of about 100 students total. Though no studies have been identified that measure reading probes as predictors for reading achievement, some current literature and research indicates that word reading and reading fluency has a strong relationship to overall reading ability. The Results of a Regression Analysis performed with the group of first graders indicates that the Reading Fluency (RCBM) probe is both very strong and accurate, with high relative value, making it a significant predictor of reading achievement. The other probes consisting of Letter Naming Fluency (LNF), Letter Sound Fluency (LSF), Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (PSF), and Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF) also showed to be predictors of reading achievement with less significance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic assessment embeds interaction within the framework of a test-intervene-retest approach to psychoeducational assessment. This book offers an introduction to diagnostic assessors in psychology, education, and speech/language pathology to the basic ideas, principles, and practices of dynamic assessment. Most importantly, the book presents an array of specific procedures developed and used by the authors that can be applied to clients of all ages in both clinical and educational settings. The authors discuss their approach to report-writing, with a number of examples to demonstrate how they incorporate dynamic assessment into a comprehensive approach to assessment. The text concludes with a discussion of issues and questions that need to be considered and addressed. Two appendixes include descriptions of additional tests used by the authors that are adapted for dynamic assessment, as well as information about dynamic assessment procedures developed by others and sources for additional information about this approach.

Book excerpt: Kindergarten and first grade represent a time of rapid growth and learning'for children. During these years, children acquire the reading knowledge and skills that prepare them for future schooling and life. Until recently, little national data have been available on young children's reading skills. The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K), sponsored by the United States Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), strives to help fill this gap in knowledge. The study, which follows the academic progress of a nationally representative sample of children from kindergarten through fifth grade, provides information about children's reading achievement in early elementary school. This special analysis summarizes finding from the ECLS-K on children's reading skills through the first two years of school and the classroom experience of beginning readers. It explores some of the factors that relate to kindergartners' reading skills, such as the literacy environment in the home. In addition, the analysis focuses on differences in the instructional practices used to teach reading in kindergarten and the emphasis placed on various reading activities and skills. The special analysis concludes by examining the relationship between the type of kindergarten program (full-day or half-day) children attend and their reading skills and achievement.
