Abstract
Results of a randomized controlled trial in English elementary schools of Lexia Core5 Reading are presented here. The research assessed whether a computer-assisted learning program designed to improve reading outcomes for all readers, when delivered as a targeted intervention to struggling readers improves reading outcomes for these First Grade students. The program was delivered successfully across one school year. Analysis was undertaken for 620 students, from 57 participating schools with a mean average of socio-economic disadvantage above the national average. Positive Effect Sizes were observed of +0.08 overall and of +0.18 for low socio-economic status (SES) students. A larger study is warranted to ascertain generalizability to a larger population including in other grades.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
