Predicting Reading Disabilities Using Dynamic Assessment of Decoding before and after the Onset of Reading Instruction: A Longitudinal Study from Kindergarten through Grade 2
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gellert, Anna S.; Elbro, Carsten – Annals of Dyslexia, 2018
The present study examined the predictive validity of a dynamic test of decoding in which participants are taught three novel letters and how to synthesize the corresponding letter sounds into new words. One version of this dynamic test was administered to 158 kindergarten children before the onset of formal reading instruction along with…

Petersen, Douglas B.; Gragg, Shelbi L.; Spencer, Trina D. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine how well a kindergarten dynamic assessment of decoding predicts future reading difficulty at 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade and to determine whether the dynamic assessment improves the predictive validity of traditional static kindergarten reading measures. Method: With a small variation in sample…

Predicting Reading Ability for Bilingual Latino Children Using Dynamic Assessment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Petersen, Douglas B.; Gillam, Ronald B. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
This study investigated the predictive validity of a dynamic assessment designed to evaluate later risk for reading difficulty in bilingual Latino children at risk for language impairment. During kindergarten, 63 bilingual Latino children completed a dynamic assessment nonsense-word recoding task that yielded pretest to posttest gain scores,…

Oslund, Eric L.; Hagan-Burke, Shanna; Taylor, Aaron B.; Simmons, Deborah C.; Simmons, Leslie; Kwok, Oi-Man; Johnson, Caitlin; Coyne, Michael D. – Reading Psychology, 2012
This study examined the predictive validity of combinations of progress-monitoring measures: (a) curriculum-embedded phonemic awareness and alphabetic/decoding measures, and (b) Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS; Good & Kaminski, 2002) nonsense word fluency and phoneme segmentation fluency on reading outcomes of…

Predictive Validity of the "Get Ready to Read!" Screener: Concurrent and Long-Term Relations with Reading-Related Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Phillips, Beth M.; Lonigan, Christopher J.; Wyatt, Marcy A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2009
This study examined concurrent and longitudinal relations for the "Get Ready to Read!" (GRTR) emergent literacy screener. This measure, within a battery of oral language, letter knowledge, decoding, and phonological awareness tests, was administered to 204 preschool children (mean age = 53.6, SD = 5.78; 55% male) from diverse…

Assessing Letter Sound Knowledge: A Comparison of Letter Sound Fluency and Nonsense Word Fluency
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ritchey, Kristen D. – Exceptional Children, 2008
This article compares 2 fluency-based assessments of letter sound knowledge: letter sound fluency and nonsense word fluency (NWF). Ninety-one children were administered both assessments 5 times during the second half of kindergarten. The assessments were comparable for concurrent and predictive criterion-related validity at single points. The…
