Hand and Lonigan examine if an S-1 Bifactor model fits best and whether externalizing factors are consistent across age groups and ethnicities. They also dive into longitudinal relations within key etiological models. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

This study examined which preschool early writing skills had unique predictive relations with kindergarten and first-grade reading outcomes beyond the predictive contributions of preschool early literacy skills. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The goal of this study conducted by DeCamp and Lonigan was to compare the strength of association of parent and teacher reports of externalizing behaviors with children’s early academic skills. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Examining language development in young learners: This study reports on two large-scale trials with 1,610 preschool and kindergarten children. Researchers tested the impact of small-group, intensive language lessons over 18 weeks. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-05…

Findings from this study underscore the need to account for motivational differences in reading comprehension and the importance of fostering mastery goals when teaching reading comprehension, particularly for students with reading difficulties. bit.ly/4eaK1bP

Study finds a bidirectional link between word and nonword reading, impacting each other over time. Interestingly, this pattern holds regardless of economic status. However, significant differences emerge between those at risk for #dyslexia and those not.bit.ly/45VEukT

This study by Gutierrez, Dr. Valeria Rigobon, Nancy Marencin, Dr. Ashley Edwards, Dr. Laura Steacy, and Compton presents a classification and regression tree (CART) model predicting fourth-grade reading groups using first-grade measures. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Results suggest that set for variability is a powerful and potentially highly sensitive predictor of early reading difficulties and, therefore, may be important for early identification and treatment of #dyslexia. ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

This study described the features of writing instruction in widely used kindergarten ELA programs and examined their alignment with evidence-based, best-practice guidelines. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

The results of the meta-analysis, conducted by HyeJin Hwang, Sonia Cabell, and Joyner, of the five studies showed that supporting content knowledge in ELA strengthened vocabulary related to content being taught. bit.ly/3JMRcK1
