We examined how raters and tasks influence measurement error in writing evaluation and how many raters and tasks are needed to reach a desirable level of .90 and .80 reliabilities for children in Grades 3 and 4. A total of 211 children (102 boys) were administered three tasks in narrative and expository genres, respectively, and their written compositions were evaluated in widely used evaluation methods for developing writers: holistic scoring, productivity, and curriculum-based writing scores. Results showed that 54 and 52% of variance in narrative and expository compositions were attributable to true individual differences in writing. Students’ scores varied largely by tasks (30.44 and 28.61% of variance), but not by raters. To reach the reliability of .90, multiple tasks and raters were needed, and for the reliability of .80, a single rater and multiple tasks were needed. These findings offer important implications about reliably evaluating children’s writing skills, given that writing is typically evaluated by a single task and a single rater in classrooms and even in some state accountability systems. 相似文献

We examined the genetic and environmental contribution to the stability and instability of reading outcomes in early elementary
school using a sample of 283 twin pairs drawn from the Western Reserve Reading Project. Twins were assessed across two measurement
occasions. In Wave 1, children were either in kindergarten or first grade. Wave 2 assessments were conducted one year later.
Results suggested substantial genetic stability across measurement occasions. Additionally, shared environmental influences
also accounted for stability, particularly for variables more closely tied to direct instruction such as phonological awareness,
letter knowledge, and word knowledge. There was also evidence for independent genetic and shared environmental effects, suggesting
that new sources of variance may emerge as the demands of school change and children begin to acquire early reading skills. 相似文献

The objective of this investigation was to examine how instructional practices in 107 first- and second-grade classrooms in 17 high poverty schools moderate the impact on literacy outcomes of literacy-related skills students bring to the classroom. Ratings of teaching effectiveness and time allocation to literacy activities were obtained. Twenty time allocation variables were reduced into seven patterns of literacy activities that were examined as predictors of reading and spelling outcomes. Students’ initial reading ability and interactions of teaching effectiveness ratings by time allocation components predicted reading and spelling outcomes. Discussion centers on immutable versus flexible views of reading development and analytic approaches to examining instructional practices. 相似文献

The primary aims of this study were twofold: (a) to describe average change in the written narrative performance of second grade students from the fall and spring of the school year and (b) examine patterns of individual growth to test for Matthew effects. Participants included 299 children in second grade. Microstructural measures were derived from students’ written narratives including: number of different words (NDW), total number of words (TNW), and accuracy of spelling and grammar. Significant increases in NDW, TNW, and spelling accuracy were evidenced from fall to spring. Students averaged 55 total words in the fall and averaged 69 words in the spring, with a statistically significant increase of 14 words t(299)?=?8.4, p?<?.0001). The variance in TNW from fall to spring increased from Var?=?791 to Var?=?1005, which was a significant increase and the correlation of initial Fall TNW and growth in TNW was also significant (r?=?0.39). Additionally, results from a two-level hierarchical linear model with students nested within teachers indicated that initial level of TNW predicted the change in TNW from fall to spring, with higher levels of initial TNW being related to larger gains in TNW. Significant predictors of Matthew effects included teacher or classroom and free/reduced lunch eligibility. Written personal narrative measures are sensitive to developmental change across a school year. Evidence of Matthew effects in lexical productivity suggests additional support may be warranted to ameliorate gaps in writing achievement.

Many schools are beginning to implement multi-tier response to intervention (RTI) models for the prevention of reading difficulties and to assist in the identification of students with learning disabilities (LD). The present study was part of our larger ongoing longitudinal RTI investigation within the Florida Learning Disabilities Center grant. This study used a longitudinal correlational design, conducted in 7 ethnically and socio-economically diverse schools. We observed reading instruction in 20 classrooms, examined response rates to kindergarten Tier 1 instruction, and predicted students' first grade reading performance based upon kindergarten growth and end of year reading performance (n = 203). Teachers followed an explicit core reading program and overall, classroom instruction was rated as effective. Results indicate that controlling for students' end of kindergarten reading, their growth across kindergarten on a variety of language and literacy measures suppressed predictions of first grade performance. Specifically, the steeper the students' trajectory to a satisfactory outcome, the less likely they were to demonstrate good performance in first grade. Implications for future research and RTI implementation are discussed. 相似文献

Reading ability is comprised of several component processes. In particular, the connection between the visual and verbal systems has been demonstrated to play an important role in the reading process. The present study provides a review of the existing literature on the visual verbal connection as measured by two tasks, rapid serial naming and isolated (or discrete-trial) naming speed, as they relate to reading ability. For each identified study, a secondary data analysis was conducted using the provided correlations between serial naming, isolated naming, and reading. The same analysis was repeated for average population-level correlations among these constructs using meta-analytic weighting techniques. Results suggested that isolated naming acts as a suppressor variable in the relation of serial naming with reading, indicating that there exists at least one cognitive component of the serial naming task that is predictive of reading but is not shared with isolated naming speed. The effect has several implications for understanding the underlying cognitive components reading ability, which are discussed. 相似文献

The present study examined three hypotheses regarding the consequences of early brain damage for academic achievement: First, early brain insults will have a negative impact on achievement, even in children with normal intelligence. Second, underachievement in these children will be at least partially independent of IQ (i.e., not fully accounted for by a lowering of IQ within the average range). Third, normally intelligent children with histories of brain insult will also manifest selective cognitive dysfunctions. To test these hypotheses, we compared two groups of children who had recovered from Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis. The "complicated" group consisted of children who, as a consequence of having sustained neurologic complications during their illness, were more likely to have had brain insults. Children in the "uncomplicated" group did not have complications with their illness and were regarded as having escaped significant central nervous system (CNS) pathology. Only children with normal hearing and a prorated Full Scale IQ of at least 80 (WISC-R) were considered. Group differences on the Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised were consistent with the first two hypotheses. Although the two groups had similar Verbal IQs, the complicated group also had a lower mean Performance IQ and performed less well on perceptually demanding neuropsychological tasks. Findings suggest that learning disabilities may have selective, brain-related cognitive antecedents; but they challenge the practice of using IQ criteria for clinical diagnosis. 相似文献

The present study utilized a latent variable modeling approach to examine the Simple View of Reading in a sample of students
from 3rd, 7th, and 10th grades (N = 215, 188, and 180, respectively). Latent interaction modeling and other latent variable models were employed to investigate
(a) the functional form of the relationship between decoding and linguistic comprehension in third grade, (b) the contribution
of these predictors as children progress through school, and (c) the contribution of passage fluency, working memory, and
performance IQ to a model of reading for all grades. Results did not support the Simple View of Reading for students in grades
3, 7 and 10. Additionally, it was found that passage fluency significantly predicted reading comprehension after controlling
for decoding and linguistic comprehension for students in grades 7 and 10. Likewise performance IQ was found to be a significant
predictor of reading comprehension for students in third grade. 相似文献

We examined the Simple View of reading from a behavioral genetic perspective. Two aspects of word decoding (phonological decoding
and word recognition), two aspects of oral language skill (listening comprehension and vocabulary), and reading comprehension
were assessed in a twin sample at age 9. Using latent factor models, we found that overlap among phonological decoding, word
recognition, listening comprehension, vocabulary, and reading comprehension was primarily due to genetic influences. Shared
environmental influences accounted for associations among word recognition, listening comprehension, vocabulary, and reading
comprehension. Independent of phonological decoding and word recognition, there was a separate genetic link between listening
comprehension, vocabulary, and reading comprehension and a specific shared environmental link between vocabulary and reading
comprehension. There were no residual genetic or environmental influences on reading comprehension. The findings provide evidence
for a genetic basis to the “Simple View” of reading. 相似文献

Entry-level kindergartners in classrooms from five middle class school districts were given a test of letter identification
and children who scored at or below the 30th percentile on the test were classified as “at risk” for early reading difficulties.
Half of these children were randomly assigned to a project-based intervention condition where they received supplementary
intervention in small groups until the end of their kindergarten year. The other half received whatever remedial services
were available at their home schools and literacy skills development in both groups was tracked throughout kindergarten. All
available at-risk children were again assessed at the beginning of first grade and dichotomized into a “continued-risk” group
and a “no-longer-at-risk” group using a composite measure of basic word level skills. Normal reader controls were also identified
using the same measure. Children in the continued-risk group received either project-based intervention (one-to-one tutoring
30 min daily) or school-based intervention throughout first grade. Intervention for project treatment children was discontinued
at the end of first grade and literacy development in all groups was tracked until the end of third grade. The present study
focused on literacy development in children who received only project-based kindergarten intervention or both (project-based)
kindergarten and first grade intervention, relative to the normal reader controls. Of special interest was the question of
whether measures of response to intervention would more effectively distinguish between continued-risk and no-longer-at-risk
children than would kindergarten screening measures, measures of intelligence, or measures of reading-related cognitive abilities.
Results indicated that the RTI measures more effectively and more consistently distinguished between these two groups than
did the psychometric measures.
