Grant, Amy; Gottardo, Alexandra; Geva, Esther – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
This study compared variables related to reading ability in Grade 3 students learning English as a first language (L1) and second language (L2). The students learning English as an L2 came from diverse backgrounds, with different levels of bilingualism in Spanish and English or Portuguese and English before they entered school. Both within-group…

McLeskey, James; Landers, Eric; Hoppey, David; Williamson, Pamela – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
This study was conducted to examine changes in the identification rates and national and state placement practices for school age students with learning disabilities (LD) between 1990-1991 and 2008-2009. Findings revealed that while identification rates of students with LD declined by about 4 percent during this time, general education placements…

Powell, Sarah R. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
Solving word problems is a difficult task for students at-risk for or with learning disabilities (LD). One instructional approach that has emerged as a valid method for helping students at-risk for or with LD to become more proficient at word-problem solving is using schemas. A schema is a framework for solving a problem. With a schema, students…

Dexter, Douglas D.; Park, Youn J.; Hughes, Charles A. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
This article presents a meta-analysis of experimental and quasi-experimental studies in which intermediate and secondary students with learning disabilities were taught science content through the use of graphic organizers (GOs). Following an exhaustive search for studies meeting specified selection criteria, 23 standardized mean effect sizes were…

Mason, Linda H.; Hedin, Laura R. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
In science classes, teachers must consider the need for explicit, systematic reading instruction for students with learning disabilities (LD) while navigating the constructivist and activity-oriented methods typically employed in science instruction. The complexity of scientific information conveyed through print may make reading science texts the…

Brigham, Frederick J.; Scruggs, Thomas E.; Mastropieri, Margo A. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
Students with learning disabilities (LD) are increasingly expected to master content in the general education curriculum, making the need for effective instructional supports more important than ever before. Science is a part of the curriculum that can be particularly challenging to students with LD because of the diverse demands it places on…

Therrien, William J.; Taylor, Jonte C.; Hosp, John L.; Kaldenberg, Erica R.; Gorsh, Jay – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
Although science has received much attention as a political and educational initiative, students with learning disabilities (LD) perform significantly lower than their nondisabled peers. This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of instructional strategies in science for students with LD. Twelve studies were examined, summarized, and grouped…

Hudson, Roxanne F.; Isakson, Carole; Richman, Taylor; Lane, Holly B.; Arriaza-Allen, Stephanie – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
In this study, we compared methods to improve the decoding and reading fluency of struggling readers. Second-grade poor readers were randomly assigned to one of the two practice conditions within a repeated reading intervention. Both interventions were in small groups, were 20-28 min long, took place 2-4 days per week, and consisted of phonemic…

McLeskey, James; Waldron, Nancy L. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
One of the most controversial issues in special education over the last 40 years has been the extent to which students with learning disabilities (LD) should be educated in general education classrooms. Recent mandates in federal law requiring that all students with disabilities have access to the general education curriculum and make adequate…

Codding, Robin S.; Burns, Matthew K.; Lukito, Gracia – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
Mathematics fluency is a critical component of mathematics learning yet few attempts have been made to synthesize this research base. Seventeen single-case design studies with 55 participants were reviewed using meta-analytic procedures. A component analysis of practice elements was conducted and treatment intensity and feasibility were examined.…

Irvin, Matthew J.; Farmer, Thomas W.; Weiss, Margaret P.; Meece, Judith L.; Byun, Soo-yong; McConnell, Bethany M.; Petrin, Robert A. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
This study examined the school perceptions and educational aspirations of 6,599 rural high school students, a sample that included 428 students with learning disabilities (LD). Regardless of disability status, rural high school students who had negative perceptions of school had less well-defined postsecondary educational plans and less often…

Jenkins, Joseph; Terjeson, Kari J. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
This study examined effects of goal setting, frequency of progress monitoring, and method of evaluating progress on the number of instructional change prompts generated by reading-curriculum-based measurements (CBM). Participants were 31 high-incidence special education students in grades 2-6 selected from 8 schools. Following baseline…

Ethnic minority disproportionality has been a topic of extensive discussion and research for many years. In 1997, Artiles, Trent, and Kuan conducted a seminal review of the special education research literature to identify how often researchers report and disaggregate data in ways that would support conclusions about specific ethnic minority…

Villanueva, Mary Grace; Hand, Brian – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2011
The notion of "science for all" suggests that all students--irrespective of achievement and ability--should engage in opportunities to understand the practice and discourse of science. Improving scientific literacy is an intrinsic goal of science education, yet current instructional practices may not effectively support all students, in…
