Suzanne Fikrat-Wevers, Roel van Steensel, Lidia Arends. (2021). Effects of Family Literacy Programs on the Emergent Literacy Skills of Children From Low-SES Families: A Meta-Analysis. Review of Educational Research. https://doi.org/10.3102/0034654321998075

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Moderator analyses on immediate posttests found no significant effects for immigrant/minority status (Q(1) = 0.38 overall), L2 status (Q(1) = 3.47), or age (Q(2) = 1.08), despite descriptive patterns such as d = 0.80 for L2-speaker samples.

"In the next set of analyses, we examined the role of three sample characteristics: immigrant/minority status, L2 status, and age. The moderator analyses did not demonstrate any significant effects of these variables."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Family literacy programs produce a medium average effect (d = 0.50) on low-SES children's emergent literacy at immediate posttest but only a marginal effect (d = 0.16) at follow-up — related
• Review findings are consistent across study design features; no moderator showed meaningful relationships — related
• Program and delivery characteristics moderate SEL effects: implementation quality, duration, skill practice, and delivery agent — reports the opposite
• Spoken–written advantages are larger for second-language and nonfluent first-language readers and for low prior knowledge learners — related
• Sample size category (21–40 vs. >40 participants) does not significantly moderate GenAI writing effects — related
• Several candidate moderators show no reliable effects: retention interval, test type, presentation mode, and publication status — related
• Academic risk status does not significantly moderate the mind-set–achievement correlation — related
• Implementation quality, shorter program duration, and community-based delivery are associated with lower dropout among treated students — related
• Participant background (local vs. immigrant) did not significantly moderate the attitude–proficiency association — related
• No coded study characteristics moderated the emotion–political learning associations in Bayesian regularized meta-analysis — related
• Associations with teacher wellbeing are moderated by sample type (in-service vs pre-service) and educational setting, while age and education show nonsignificant associations — related
• Most study characteristics (publication year, mean age, sampling, target language, L2 major, proficiency, measure, mode) do not significantly moderate the gender gap — related
• Background variables (need for cognition, test anxiety, mindset, puzzle experience) showed no consistent moderating patterns across the three experiments — related
• Neither URM status nor first-generation status moderates the intervention effects on retrieval practice outcomes — related
