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? Across grades, the classes appeared to capture a developmental shift from reading all letter strings serially toward parallel processing of words first and nonwords later. → van den Boer 2015

Cross-sectional comparison of 2nd, 3rd, and 5th graders (N = 314) using latent classes of naming-task performance. The authors state the classes "seemed to reflect a developmental shift"; no effect size is printed.
"Interestingly, the different classes seemed to reflect a developmental shift from reading all letter strings serially toward parallel processing of words, and later of nonwords."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Latent class analyses distinguish classes of children who read letter strings serially versus in parallel for both word and nonword reading — related
- Serial and parallel reader classes differ in sensitivity to word and nonword length, supporting class validity — related
