Subclaims¶

q3 i? Advanced reading abilities focus showed strong differential effectiveness between good readers and poor comprehenders, and between poor decoders and poor comprehenders. → Tetzlaff 2023

BCH profile-specific contrasts in the subsample (n = 217). Table 2 prints advanced-reading contrasts PD vs. PC Beta = 0.361 and GR vs. PC Beta = -0.567 with 90% CIs excluding 0; the article states "Poor comprehenders also do not improve with a focus on vocabulary, but they benefit from a focus on advanced reading skills" and "Good readers... suffer when the focus is on advanced reading skills".

"They also indicate a strong differential effectiveness of training advanced reading abilities between good readers and poor comprehenders, as well as between poor decoders and poor comprehenders."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Reading and Language — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
