Jessica M. Namkung; Lynn S. Fuchs – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2025
In this article, we introduce the term "vulnerability to achievement stressors," which refers to differentially low achievement when shifts in the educational environment "stress" or threaten the capacity of an individual or a group of individuals to make academic progress. We also introduce a methodological framework for…

The Concept of Magnitude and What It Tells Us about How Struggling Students Learn Fractions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Woodward, John – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
This commentary summarizes emerging research into fractions instruction for students who are at risk for failure. Each of the three articles emphasizes a measure conception of fractions. Teaching fractions as measurement helps students learn the magnitude of rational numbers. However, measurement is only part of the way that students should…

Teaching Fractions to Middle School Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Scarlato, Mary C.; Burr, Wendy A. – Journal of Direct Instruction, 2002
Examines the effectiveness of Direct Instruction for teaching fraction and decimal skills to four seventh-graders with learning disabilities. Provides results which show the Direct Instruction group outperformed their peers on both standardized and informal assessments. Discusses implications for teachers, administrators, researchers, teacher…
