The importance of mathematics in early grades has been well established. Two variables that are associated with mathematics achievement are student-teacher relationships (STR) and student type (students identified with a disability and students not identified with a disability). The current study investigated the interaction between perceived STR…

Edwards, Ashley A.; Steacy, Laura M.; Rigobon, Valeria M.; Petscher, Yaacov; Compton, Donald L. – Elementary School Journal, 2023
Perfetti's representational quality hypothesis suggests that orthographic learning in developing readers is associated with two important changes to the orthographic lexicon that drive continued word reading development, namely, addition of word-specific representations and acquisition of complex context-dependent decoding skills. Perfetti further…

Running, Kristin; Codding, Robin S.; Varma, Sashank; Rao, V. N. Vimal; Wackerle-Hollman, Alisha – Elementary School Journal, 2023
Conceptual and procedural instruction order may affect students' learning and generalization of math skills. This study compared two instruction sequences, concepts-first and iterative, and their effect on fraction performance through a class-wide intervention. Fourth-grade students (N = 114) were randomly assigned to the concepts-first,…

McKirahan, John; Lease, A. Michele; Neuharth-Pritchett, Stacey; Kwon, Kyongboon – Elementary School Journal, 2023
To inform teaching practices, we examined elementary learners who were anxious-withdrawn within their naturally occurring affiliation groups at school. Hypotheses addressed the degree to which affiliation group characteristics moderate the relation between individual levels of anxious-withdrawal and internalizing distress. Data from 447 fourth and…

Toste, Jessica R.; McLean, Leigh; Peng, Peng; Didion, Lisa; Filderman, Marissa J.; Sparapani, Nicole; Connor, Carol McDonald – Elementary School Journal, 2023
Small-group instruction has the potential to support students' reading growth. Teachers can use knowledge of students' skill profiles to inform the types and amounts of instruction they provide; however, the extent to which teachers do this is largely unknown. Among first (n = 661) and third graders (n = 364), we investigated whether (1) teacher…
