Jones, Jonathan S.; Milton, Fraser; Mostazir, Mohammod; Adlam, Anna R. – Developmental Science, 2020
Working memory training has been shown to improve performance on untrained working memory tasks in typically developing children, at least when compared to non-adaptive training; however, there is little evidence that it improves academic outcomes. The lack of transfer to academic outcomes may be because children are only learning skills and…

Kim, James S.; Asher, Catherine A.; Burkhauser, Mary; Mesite, Laura; Leyva, Diana – AERA Open, 2019
This study employs a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design to develop an adaptive intervention with personalized print and digital content for kindergarten to Grade 2 children (n = 273). In Stage 1, we ask whether it is better for children to receive an adaptive intervention based on (a) 10 conceptually coherent texts or…

Johnson, Lakeisha; Terry, Nicole Patton; Connor, Carol McDonald; Thomas-Tate, Shurita – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2017
The achievement gaps between poor and more affluent students are persistent and chronic, as many students living in poverty are also members of more isolated communities where dialects such as African American English and Southern Vernacular English are often spoken. Non-mainstream dialect use is associated with weaker literacy achievement. The…

Piper, Benjamin – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
If children do not learn how to read in the first few years of primary school, they at greater risk of dropping out. It is therefore crucial to identify and test interventions that have the potential of making a large impact, can be implemented quickly, and are affordable to be taken to scale by the Kenyan government. This paper presents the…

Wijekumar, Kausalai; Meyer, Bonnie J. F.; Lei, Puiwa – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Reading comprehension in the content areas is a challenge for many middle grade students. Text structure-based instruction has yielded positive outcomes in reading comprehension at all grade levels in small and large studies. The text structure strategy delivered via the web, called Intelligent Tutoring System for the Text Structure Strategy…

Sharon Vaughn; Leticia R. Martinez; Jeanne Wanzek; Greg Roberts; Elizabeth Swanson; Anna-Mária Fall – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Supporting the reading comprehension and content knowledge acquisition of English language learners (ELs) requires instructional practices that continue beyond developing the foundational skills of reading. In particular, the challenges ELs face highlight the importance of teaching reading comprehension practices in the middle grades through…

Vaden-Kiernan, Michael; Borman, Geoffrey; Caverly, Sarah; Bell, Nance; de Castilla, Veronica Ruiz; Sullivan, Kate; Fleming, Grace – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
This study addresses the effectiveness of a widely used core reading program that reflects the research-based practices recommended by the National Reading Panel. This and other similar programs are increasingly used to prevent reading difficulties and ensure that all children are reading at or above grade level by the end of third grade.…

Zuilkowski, Stephanie Simmons; Piper, Benjamin – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
If children do not learn how to read in the first few years of primary school, they will struggle to complete the cycle and are at greater risk of dropping out. It is therefore crucial to identify and test interventions that have the potential of making a large impact, can be implemented quickly, and are affordable to be taken to scale by the…
