Erbeli, Florina; He, Kai; Cheek, Connor; Rice, Marianne; Qian, Xiaoning – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Purpose: Researchers have developed a constellation model of decodingrelated reading disabilities (RD) to improve the RD risk determination. The model's hallmark is its inclusion of various RD indicators to determine RD risk. Classification methods such as logistic regression (LR) might be one way to determine RD risk within the constellation…

Mingo, Maya A.; Bell, Sherry Mee; McCallum, R. Steve; Walpitage, D. Lakmal – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
Data from 403 third graders were analyzed to determine relative and combined efficacy of group-administered Curriculum-Based Measures (CBMs) and Teacher Rankings of student reading and math performance taken early in the school year to predict end-of-year achievement scores. Teacher Rankings added to the power of CBMs to predict reading (R2 change…

Ricciardi, Courtney; Haag-Wolf, Allison; Winsler, Adam – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2020
We analyzed data from a large-scale (N = 39,213), longitudinal study of urban students to assess child factors (gender, ethnicity, English language learner status, school readiness skills, type of pre-K attended, early elementary school academic performance) prospectively associated with eventual gifted identification in elementary school.…

Jones, Donna – ProQuest LLC, 2014
In order to identify students at risk of failing the Tennessee high-stakes achievement test known as the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP), early literacy skills are monitored using reading assessments. Common reading assessments are based upon varying theories of reading development and do not reflect the necessary reading…

Bourgoin, Renée – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2014
This study explored the predictive effects of within- and cross-language early literacy indicators with regard to second language (L2) reading achievement in a Grade 3 entry-point French immersion (FI) program. Kindergarten students (N = 83) in a regular English program were administered English early literacy measures. Three years later, once…
