Logvinenko, Tatiana; Cheek, Connor; Khalaf, Shiva; Prikhoda, Natalia; Zhukova, Marina A.; Grigorenko, Elena L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
Research into reading difficulties in Russian has been taking place for about a century, since the 1920s. Early research established a line of studies on reading acquisition difficulties in the context of highly structured practices of teaching reading. These practices were propagated in the mid-late 19th century by Konstantin Ushinskii, who…

Steacy, Laura M.; Petscher, Yaacov; Elliott, James D.; Smith, Kathryn; Rigobon, Valeria M.; Abes, Daniel R.; Edwards, Ashley A.; Himelhoch, Alexandra C.; Rueckl, Jay G.; Compton, Donald L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
We modeled word reading growth in typically developing (n = 118) and children with dyslexia (n = 20), Grades 2-5, across multiple exposures to 30 words. We explored the facilitative versus inhibitory effects of exposures to differential mixes of words that support high- versus low-frequency vowel pronunciations. One training corpus contained a…

Jennifer P. Cheatham; Jill H. Allor; J. Kyle Roberts – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2014
This study examined the impact of independent practice of multiple-criteria text that targeted high-frequency words, decodability, and meaningfulness. Second-grade students, including at-risk students, were randomly assigned within classroom to a treatment group that read multiple-criteria text ("n" = 34), or contrast group that read…

Mellard, Daryl F.; Fall, Emily – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2012
The following insights into the reading skills of 312 participants in adult basic and secondary education programs are based on a principal components analysis of reading components' contributions to variance in reading comprehension. Overall, 75% of variance was explained by four composite variables representing word skills, language…

Ganschow, Leonore; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1982
Reading disabled adolescents with specific learning disabilities were compared to normal adolescent readers and young normal readers (total N=48). Results showed that context facilitated both decoding and meaning recognition for normal readers, and reading disabled adolescents showed deficits on both tasks. (Author/CL)

Shepard, Margaret Jo; Uhry, Joanna K. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1997
This training study combined within-subjects (N=12) comparisons of several literacy tasks with individual case studies of first and second graders with dyslexia over a five-month reading intervention. Training focused on phonological awareness, letter-sound associations, and guided reading. The children made significant gains in standard scores on…

Carlson, Jerry S.; Das, J. P. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1997
Two studies evaluated the Process-Based Reading Enhancement Program (PREP) with 150 grade 4 economically disadvantaged children. Pre- and posttesting with the Word Attack and Word Identification subtests of the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests-Revised found significant group-by-time interactions. Results support the efficacy of the PREP to improve…

Abbott, Sylvia P.; Reed, Elizabeth; Abbott, Robert D.; Berninger, Virginia W. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1997
Sixteen children with severe reading problems in first grade received a year-long individual tutorial intervention. Growth curve analyses found significant gains on measures of orthographic and phonological coding, word identification, word attack skills, reading comprehension, letter automaticity, and spelling and marginally significant gains in…
