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? Canonical analysis found one significant variate pair, Early Literacy Competence (Rc = .34), linking TERA alphabet knowledge, conventions of print, and meaning from print with the three DIBELS subtests. → Rouse 2006

Rouse 2006¶
Rouse, H. L., & Fantuzzo, J. W. (2006). Validity of the Dynamic Indicators for Basic Early Literacy Skills as an Indicator of Early Literacy for Urban Kindergarten Children. School Psychology Review, 35(3), 341-355. https://doi.org/10.1080/02796015.2006.12087971
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Canonical correlation analysis of kindergarten DIBELS and TERA scores (N = 326) yielded one significant variate pair, "Early Literacy Competence {Re = .34)"; redundancy analysis showed the TERA explained 31% of variance in DIBELS and DIBELS 25% in TERA.
"This bimultivariate relationship was defined by one significant canonical variate pair. Early Literacy Competence {Re = .34)."
