This study examined the effect of comprehension strategy instruction on third-grade English Learners' word-problem-solving performance. The supplemental intervention included modeling how to read the word problem to identify and restate the question, distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information, and collaborating with peers on applying the…

Xin Lin; Sarah R. Powell – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2025
This study examined how word-problem characteristics influenced students' learning and retention of word-problem knowledge during and after an intervention. The participants were 221 fourth-grade students (average age at pretest = 8.8 years) who experienced word-problem difficulties (WPD) and had received a word-problem intervention in third…

King, Sarah G.; Powell, Sarah R. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2023
As students enter the upper elementary grades, word problems become a main component of mathematics instruction, increasing in complexity as students advance through the curriculum. For students identified as emergent bilinguals with mathematics difficulty (MD), the linguistic complexity inherent in word problems may serve as a barrier to…

Nelson, Gena; Crawford, Angela; Hunt, Jessica; Park, Soyoung; Leckie, Emily; Duarte, Alex; Brafford, Tasia; Ramos-Duke, Mary; Zarate, Kary – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2022
The purpose of the systematic review of mathematics intervention syntheses was to identify patterns and gaps in content areas, instructional strategies, effect sizes, and definitions of learning disabilities (LD), mathematics LD (MLD), and mathematics difficulty (MD). Using rigorous inclusion criteria, we evaluated 36 syntheses that included 836…

Swanson, H. Lee; Kong, Jennifer E.; Moran, Amber S.; Orosco, Michael J. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2019
This randomized control treatment study investigated the role of generative paraphrasing interventions on word problem-solving (WPS) accuracy in English language learners (ELL) who were at risk for math difficulties (MD). One hundred and forty-two third-grade monolingual and English language learners were randomly assigned to either an untreated…

Swanson, H. Lee; Lussier, Cathy; Orosco, Michael – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2013
This study investigated the role of strategy instruction and cognitive abilities on word problem solving accuracy in children with math difficulties (MD). Elementary school children (N = 120) with and without MD were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions: general-heuristic (e.g., underline question sentence), visual-schematic presentation…
