Subclaims¶

q3 i? The WWC rating for phonological processing is no discernible effects, based on one study (Lonigan et al., 1999) finding no statistically significant effects on any of four measures. → WWC Intervention Report: Dialogic Reading 2007

Evidence¶

WWC Intervention Report: Dialogic Reading 2007¶

q3 · i? · causal · r?

Randomized controlled trial by Lonigan et al. (1999) with 66 children in the Dialogic Reading versus no-treatment comparison, assessing rhyme oddity detection, alliteration oddity detection, sound blending, and sound elision. The review reports "no sta - tistically significant effects for any of the four outcome mea - sures".

"Lonigan et al. (1999) found no sta - tistically significant effects for any of the four outcome mea - sures and the average effect across the four measures was not large enough to be considered substantively important."
