Book excerpt: The present study used a randomized control trial to examine the effects of a widely-used multi-component Tier 2 type intervention, Passport to Literacy, on the reading ability of 221 fourth graders who initially scored at or below the 30th percentile in reading comprehension. Intervention was provided by research staff to groups of 4-7 students for 30 min, 4 days a week throughout the school year (M = 90.45 lessons). Tier 1 instruction was observed to be of generally high quality and intervention fidelity was strong. Findings revealed small, average effects (ES = 0.14 -0.28) in favor of intervention students on standardized measures of comprehension, but no effects on word reading or fluency measures. Exploratory analyses indicated intervention effects may differ by students' comprehension abilities. Implications for intervention implementation and directions for future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this exploratory case study was to examine if fourth-graders in an educational, after-school care program who participated in a Reading Education Assistance Dog (R.E.A.D.®) therapy program improved their overall reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and Lexile® scores as assessed by the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test (GMRT). Fourth-grade students who attended an educational, after-school care program at a rural elementary school in New England were the subjects of this study. There were eight participants in the study. Employing a quasi-experimental design, five participants in the experimental group participated in the R.E.A.D. ® program and three participants in the control group did not participate in the R.E.A.D.® program. The GMRT pretest and posttest scores of fourth-graders who participated in a ten-week R.E.A.D.® program were compared with the scores of fourth-graders who did not participate in a R.E.A.D. ® program prior to taking the GMRT posttest. The lens for this study was Meehan and Smith’s (2010) comparative case study “Reading Aloud to Dogs Improves Reading Skills and Self-Animal Perception Among School-Aged Children.” The authors found that third-grade children who read aloud to reading dogs improved their reading fluency by an average of 12% and children in various grades who were home-schooled improved by an average of 30%. This study sought to examine if reading aloud to dogs through participation in the R.E.A.D.® program also improved participants’ overall reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and Lexile® scores. Although slight growth was exhibited in all of the areas studied, the findings were not significant. One factor may have been the small sample size. However, teachers, administrators, and educational, afterschool care programs should be emboldened to bring the R.E.A.D.® program to work with struggling readers in their schools or programs.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence supports a positive relationship between problem behaviors and reading difficulties across Grades K-12 yet there is a lack of research investigating the role of problem behavior in the context of reading interventions. In this study, data was analyzed from a site-specific subset of students from a multi-site randomized controlled trial (RCT) implementing a multi-component reading intervention for struggling readers in Grades 4 – 5. Data were analyzed to answer the following research questions: (1) What is the impact of multi-component reading intervention for 4th and 5th grade students who are struggling readers on both reading and problem behavior outcomes? and (2) Does problem behavior moderate the effect of a multi-component reading intervention for 4th and 5th grade students who are struggling readers? Students (n = 108) were randomly assigned to a one-year multi-component comprehension reading intervention or a school determined business as usual (BAU) comparison condition after meeting the criterion for identification as a struggling reader by scoring at or below a 90 standard score on the Test of Silent Reading Efficiency and Comprehension (Wagner, Torgesen, Rashotte, & Pearson, 2010) screener assessment. To answer the research questions, data (reading and behavior outcomes) were analyzed using an analysis of covariance to: 1) test the impact of the reading intervention on both reading and behavior outcomes; and 2) test for a significant interaction between measures of problem behavior and condition (i.e., treatment or comparison) on reading outcomes (e.g., Gates MacGinitie Reading Test; MacGainitie, 2000). Models controlled for student-level differences (e.g., reading pretest scores). Type I error associated with multiple comparisons was controlled for using the Benjamani-Hochberg correction to adjust for false discovery rates. Results suggested that the impact of treatment resulted in significant posttest group differences on word reading fluency (p
