Direct linkLenfest, Ashleigh; Reed, Deborah K. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2015
To enhance the basal vocabulary instruction for kindergarten students at risk for reading difficulties, lessons provided in typical curricular materials can be supplemented with instructional elements derived from research. This article addresses how teachers can add 15 minutes of higher order instructional activities to daily reading lessons to…

Kendeou, Panayiota; Broek, Paul; Helder, Anne; Karlsson, Josefine – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
Our aim in the present paper is to discuss a "cognitive view" of reading comprehension, with particular attention to research findings that have the potential to improve our understanding of difficulties in reading comprehension. We provide an overview of how specific sources of difficulties in inference making, executive functions, and…

Vaughn, Sharon; Wanzek, Jeanne – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
We use three data sources to build a rationale for why intensive interventions are necessary for students with pervasive reading disabilities: current data on the performance of students with disabilities on reading achievement measures over time, observation studies on students with reading disabilities in general and special education…

O'Connor, Rollanda E.; Bocian, Kathleen M.; Beach, Kristen D.; Sanchez, Victoria; Flynn, Lindsay J. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2013
This 4-year longitudinal research was designed to study special education determinations of students who participated in Tier 2 intervention in a Response to Intervention (RtI) model focused on reading across Grades 1-4. We compared identification rates for learning disabilities (LD) and student characteristics of 381 students the year prior to…

Ayala, Sandra M.; O'Connor, Rollanda – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2013
Ten first grade students who had responded poorly to a Tier 2 reading intervention in a response to intervention (RTI) model received an intervention of video self-modeling to improve decoding skills and sight word recognition. Students were video recorded blending and segmenting decodable words and reading sight words. Videos were edited and…

McFarland, Laura; Williams, Jacob; Miciak, Jeremy – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2013
Content analyses of journals in the field of LD provide a means of surveying research and publication trends, the knowledge of which may inform policy and practice related to future research agendas. As the first decade of the current millennium was particularly contentious for the field of LD, we felt that a content review would be timely. In…

Haager, Diane; Vaughn, Sharon – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2013
The K-5 reading standards within the English Language Arts Common Core State Standards provide guidance to teachers about grade level expectations for students. Though the authors of the standards acknowledge that some students may experience difficulty reaching the rigorous expectations, they explain that the standards outline a pathway to…

Kim, Woori; Linan-Thompson, Sylvia; Misquitta, Radhika – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
This review examined the effectiveness of critical factors in instruction for improving the reading comprehension of middle school students with learning disabilities. Five critical factors were identified: (i) type of instructional methods, (ii) self-monitoring, (iii) components of reading incorporated, (iv) fidelity of instruction (scripted vs.…

Watson, Silvana M. R.; Gable, Robert A.; Gear, Sabra B.; Hughes, Kimberly C. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
Reading comprehension is a complex skill that places significant demands on students, beginning with elementary school and continuing through the secondary grades. In this article, we provide an overview of possible factors associated with problems in reading comprehension among secondary students with learning disabilities. Discussion underscores…

Kent, Shawn C.; Wanzek, Jeanne; Al Otaiba, Stephanie – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine the amount of time spent actively engaged in reading sounds, words, and connected text for students at-risk for reading difficulties in the first formal grade of reading instruction, kindergarten. Observational data of 109 kindergarten students at high-risk for later reading difficulties were collected…

Hill, David R.; King, Seth A.; Lemons, Christopher J.; Partanen, Jane N. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
In this review, we explore the extent to which researchers evaluating the efficacy of Tier 2 elementary reading interventions within the framework of Response to Intervention reported on fidelity of implementation and alignment of instruction between tiers. A literature search identified 22 empirical studies from which conclusions were drawn.…

Little, Mary E.; Rawlinson, D'Ann; Simmons, Deborah C.; Kim, Minjung; Kwok, Oi-man; Hagan-Burke, Shanna; Simmons, Leslie E.; Fogarty, Melissa; Oslund, Eric; Coyne, Michael D. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
This study compared the effects of Tier 2 reading interventions that operated in response-to-intervention contexts. Kindergarten children (N = 90) who were identified as at risk for reading difficulties were stratified by school and randomly assigned to receive (a) Early Reading Intervention (ERI; Pearson/Scott Foresman, 2004) modified in response…

Flynn, Lindsay J.; Zheng, Xinhua; Swanson, H. Lee – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
This article synthesizes the experimental literature on reading interventions for upper elementary and middle school students identified with reading disabilities on norm-referenced reading measures. Ten studies (12 independent samples) yielded 70 effect sizes on norm-referenced reading measures with an aggregated mean of 0.41 (SE = 0.04) in favor…

Begeny, John C.; Mitchell, R. Courtney; Whitehouse, Mary H.; Samuels, Fleming Harris; Stage, Scott A. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
The Helping Early Literacy with Practice Strategies (HELPS) Program was developed by integrating eight evidence-based fluency-building instructional strategies into a systematic program that can be feasibly implemented and accessed for free by all educators. This study examined the effects of HELPS when implemented by teachers with low-performing…

Pullen, Paige C.; Tuckwiller, Elizabeth D.; Ashworth, Kristen; Lovelace, Shelly P.; Cash, Deanna – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
Concerns regarding literacy levels in the United States are long standing. Debates have existed for decades regarding the most effective ways to teach reading, especially the polarizing dilemma of how much to focus on decoding versus code-emphasis and whole language instruction. Fortunately, as a result of concentrated research efforts and…
