Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? T1 decoding precursors (phonemic awareness, letter knowledge, RAN) strongly predicted T2 decoding skills (β = .85), explaining 75% of their variance. → Jessica Massonnié 2018

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Longitudinal SEM on 556 French first-graders tested the continuity from decoding precursors at T1 (September–November 2014) to decoding skills at T2 (May–June 2015); the authors note the "strong predictive power, compared to Moll et al. (2014) and Ziegler et al. (2010)".
"T1 decoding precursors strongly predicted T2 decoding skills, explaining 75% of their variance (β = .85)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In French first-graders, T1 decoding precursors directly predicted T2 reading comprehension above their contribution through decoding skills — related
- The direct effect of T1 decoding precursors on T2 reading comprehension held only when phonemic awareness and letter knowledge were both included, while RAN strengthened the prediction of decoding skills — related
- Oral language skills did not significantly and positively predict the development of decoding skills during French first grade — related
- End-of-first-grade reading comprehension in French pupils was predicted by T1 decoding precursors, T2 decoding skills and T2 LLL skills, with only marginal contribution of T2 discourse skills — related
- In French first-graders, a three-factor structure distinguishing lower level language skills from discourse skills fits better than a two-factor oral language structure at both the beginning and end of first grade — related
