Direct linkMartin, BrittanyLee N.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2022
The first purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of risk for comorbid reading and mathematics disabilities (RMD) at start of first grade, when measured in a representative sample of 3,062 students with first-grade fluency measures (word reading; computation). The second purpose was to examine the utility of these measures for…

Vaknin-Nusbaum, Vered – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2021
The effectiveness of a morphological awareness (MA) intervention program on reading fluency and accuracy performance was examined in 40 students with reading disabilities in fourth to sixth grade, ranging in age from nine to 12 years old (M = 10.51, SD = 0.89). The study used an experimental pre-post design consisting of a morphological…

Park, Yujeong; Kiely, Mary Theresa; Brownell, Mary T.; Benedict, Amber – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2019
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among (1) special education teachers' knowledge for teaching reading fluency, (2) the specific instructional practices they used in fluency instruction, and (3) gains of students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) on a performance measure of oral reading fluency (ORF). Analyses…

Fishley, Katelyn M.; Konrad, Moira; Hessler, Terri; Keesey, Susan – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
Although vocabulary plays an important role in literacy and content instruction, there is a paucity of research identifying effective methods for teaching vocabulary. One promising strategy is morphemic analysis, which involves breaking words into morphemes, the smallest meaningful parts of words, and teaching students the meanings of those parts.…
