Peer reviewedKelly, Bernadette; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1990
The study found that a curriculum which incorporated three empirically derived principles of curriculum design (e.g., use of a wide range of examples to illustrate each concept) was significantly more effective than a basal approach in teaching fractions concepts to 40 low-performing or learning-disabled high school students.

Peer reviewedCatts, Hugh W.; Hogan, Tiffany P.; Fey, Marc E. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
This study investigated use of the Reading Component Model to subgroup poor readers. Poor readers were identified in second grade and subgrouped into four significantly different groups on the basis of relative strengths and weaknesses in word recognition and listening comprehension. Further analysis found poor readers' abilities were foreshadowed…

Peer reviewedBell, Sherry Mee; McCallum, R. Steve; Cox, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
Elementary and middle school children (n=105) completed measures of reading achievement and cognitive abilities. Factor analysis produced three empirically and theoretically derived factors, auditory processing, visual processing/speed, and memory. Together the three factors combined predicted 61 to 85% of the variance associated with different…

Peer reviewedAl-Yagon, Michal – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
A study involving 145 Israeli mother-child dyads examined the contribution of a multidimensional model of risk factors in explaining adaptive functioning among kindergartners with mild developmental delays considered at risk for developing learning disorders. Results indicated a high fit between the theoretical model and empirical findings.…
