Subclaims¶

q3 i? Regressions predicted Vocabulary (45.1% of variance), Language (41%), and Reading (32%), with Letter Naming Fluency the strongest predictor on each. → Rouse 2006 q3 i? For TerraNova Reading, Letter Naming Fluency and Phoneme Segmentation Fluency were significant predictors but Nonsense Word Fluency was not. → Rouse 2006 (2)

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Simultaneous regression on first-grade TerraNova Vocabulary found that "DIBELS dimensions accounted for 45.1% of the variance in Vocabulary"; Letter Naming Fluency was the strongest predictor, followed by Phoneme Segmentation Fluency.

"Regression of the DIBELS in kindergarten on the Vocabulary dimension of the TerraNova at the end of the year resulted in a significant overall relationship (F[3, 277] = 75.04, p < .0001; see Table 4). DIBELS dimensions accounted for 45.1% of the variance in Vocabulary."

Regression on first-grade TerraNova Reading found "Letter Naming Fluency and Phoneme Segmen- tation Huency were significant predictors of Reading, but Nonsense Word Fluency was not significant." The Language regression was also significant (F[3,285] = 65.31, p < .0001; 41% of variance).

"Letter Naming Fluency and Phoneme Segmen- tation Huency were significant predictors of Reading, but Nonsense Word Fluency was not significant. DIBELS subtests explained 32% of the variance in Reading."
