Hwang, Yooyeun; Levin, Joel R. – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2023
Recently developed randomized-test procedures for two independent-samples single-case designs are presented and applied to a memory-strategy intervention study with eight underperforming students from low SES backgrounds. Research design aspects, data-analysis features, and various output measures are provided to demonstrate the potential utility…

Davies, Scott; McKerrow, Mark – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2023
Summer numeracy interventions have become standard educational practice across a range of jurisdictions, but there is a paucity of evaluations of those interventions across international settings. We employ a quasi-experimental evaluation of voluntary summer numeracy programs for 569 attendees and 2,193 comparison students in grades 1-3, conducted…

Hubbard, Lea; Metz-Matthews, Kelly; Resultan, Barbara – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2022
Educators, researchers, and policy makers concerned about college under-enrollment among underserved groups of students have traditionally focused reform efforts at the high school level. Over the last several decades, however, there has been a growing interest in improving college readiness beginning at the elementary level. Recently, the…

Chaparro, Erin A.; Smolkowski, Keith; Gunn, Barbara; Dennis, Caroline; Vadasy, Patricia – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2022
This paper reports the outcomes of an experimental evaluation of "Direct Instruction Spoken English" ("DISE"), an English language curriculum that focuses on developing English speaking, listening, and comprehension skills in English Learners (ELs). Twenty-nine middle schools in three states were randomly assigned to teach…

Beach, Kristen D.; Washburn, Erin K.; Gesel, Samantha A.; Williams, Paula – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2021
This exploratory investigation examined the transformation of a traditional summer reading intervention (SRI) to synchronous virtual format in response to school closures due to COVID-19. Goals were to adapt and describe the adaptation of the in-person intervention to the virtual environment, examine program outcomes, and understand tutor and…

Cipriano, Christina; Barnes, Tia N.; Rivers, Susan E.; Brackett, Marc – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2019
The present paper examines if developmental pathways for students at risk for academic failure can be improved through social and emotional learning (SEL). Specifically, we test this hypothesis by accounting for shifts in student engagement, a highly studied and malleable construct often inclusive of SEL interventions, as the pathway by which to…

Hurry, Jane; Flouri, Eirini; Sylva, Kathy – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2018
Background: There is a well-established association between literacy difficulties and emotional and behavior disorders (EBD). However, the scarcity of experimental studies means directions of causality are not clear. Aims: This study investigates causal relationships between literacy and EBD, and implications of co-morbidity for intervention.…

Smythe-Leistico, Kenneth; Page, Lindsay C. – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2018
Poor school attendance in the early grades is predictive of poor subsequent educational outcomes. We report on a pilot intervention aiming to reduce chronic absenteeism in kindergarten. We designed and implemented a two-way, text-based parent-school communication system to encourage daily attendance, provide parents with personalized feedback on…

Trainin, Guy; Wilson, Kathleen M.; Murphy-Yagil, Malinda; Rankin-Erickson, Joan L. – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2014
This study compared the impact of 2 types of small-group interventions targeting below-level 3rd-grade students. The study compared WordWork decoding and spelling instruction (Calfee, Miller, Norman, Wilson, & Trainin, 2006; Calfee & Patrick, 1995), which includes attention to articulation and metacognition, with a more traditional…

Algozzine, Bob; Marr, Mary Beth; Kavel, Rebecca L.; Dugan, Katherine Keller – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2009
Fluent oral reading is essential for success in elementary school. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of enhanced reading fluency instruction for struggling readers. The intervention was provided to small groups of students at risk for reading difficulties. Students were assessed on key early literacy skills. Second-grade students…

Hemphill, Lowry; Tivnan, Terrence – Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2008
Although research documents a key contribution of print skills to early literacy, vocabulary and other language skills also provide an important foundation. Focusing on a sample of several hundred low-income children in 16 urban schools that were implementing literacy interventions, 1st-grade predictors of literacy development were traced over…
