Direct linkCourtney Tolbert; Deborah K. Reed; Ryan Hall; David E. Houchins – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2025
Handwriting difficulties may signal dysgraphia or other writing difficulties that can affect literacy performance. Existing instruments measure different handwriting features to identify students for interventions but can take extra testing time and restrict potential indicators appropriate for evaluating adolescents. This exploratory study aimed…

Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Compton, Donald L.; Fuchs, Douglas; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2012
Response-to-intervention (RTI) models incorporate a screening process to identify students who appear to be at risk for learning disabilities (LDs). The purpose of this position article is to incorporate what is known about screening into a flexible, yet comprehensive screening system to help school psychologists and other school administrators in…

Coleman, Chris; Gregg, Noel; McLain, Lisa; Bellair, Leslie W. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2009
In this study, the authors analyzed 2,056 spelling errors produced by 130 young adults (65 with dyslexia, 65 typically achieving), which came from two sources: a standardized spelling test and an impromptu essay-writing task. Students with dyslexia exhibited higher spelling error rates across both tasks. To characterize the inaccurate spelling…

Scruggs, Thomas E.; Mastropieri, Margo A. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2006
Batsche, Kavale, and Kovaleski (this issue) have done an outstanding job of summarizing arguments for and against the use of response-to-intervention (RTI) procedures for identifying learning disabilities. In this response, we raise issues relevant to the concept of learning disabilities, the nature of problems associated with standard…

Burns, Matthew K.; Dean, Vincent J.; Klar, Sandy – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2004
The Responsiveness to Intervention (RI) model for diagnosing learning disabilities has been proposed as an alternative to previous definitions. Given the importance of reliable and valid assessment in the instructional process, assessment must be a crucial aspect of any RI approach. Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) has been discussed in previous…

Vaughn, Sharon; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2006
We respond to the comments of Batsche, Kavale, and Kovaleski (this issue), on Response To Intervention (RTI) and learning disabilities. Historically, discrepancy between IQ and achievement has been used by many as a criterion for identification of learning disabilities. Recently, RTI is considered as a practice for identifying consistent and…

Peer reviewedBurns, Matthew K.; Tucker, James A.; Hauser, Andrea; Thelen, Renee L.; Holmes, Katherine J.; White, Kelly – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2002
A study examined relationships between reading fluency and comprehension by having 49 students (grades 3-4) orally read four passages with an incrementally increased percentage of scrambled words. A suggested criterion of approximately 50 words/minute was found using the mean fluency rate of the highest passage of demonstrated adequate…
