Abstract
This study examined the heterogeneity of literacy profiles for adolescents with and without Specific Learning Disability (SLD). Student subgroups displaying common patterns of performance in word level skills and reading comprehension were identified through latent profile analysis. Results indicate most of the total sample demonstrated below average performance in one or both areas with word level skill difficulties being more common than difficulties in reading comprehension alone. Changes in reading performance by profile over time (Grade 6 to 8) were examined through a latent transition analysis revealing consistent patterns in the SLD sample and variable patterns in the typically developing sample. Resulting profiles were utilized to predict performance on an end-of-year broad reading comprehension measure indicating very little change in performance over time. Findings suggest large numbers of adolescents with concurrent word level and reading comprehension difficulties likely need sustained intervention in word level skills to support their reading comprehension.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
