Subclaims¶

q2 i? Reading fluency partially explained reading comprehension (β = 0.39, p < .01, Adjusted-R² = 0.11), while the group × fluency interaction and group effect were not significant. → Lefèvre 2024

Evidence¶

Lefèvre 2024¶

Lefèvre, E., Law, J. M., Prado, J., Anders, R., & Cavalli, E. (2024). Reading Comprehension Resiliency in Adolescents with and without Dyslexia relates to Vocabulary, Listening Comprehension and Socioeconomic Status. https://osf.io/fzyeh/?view_only=84fc51248a0d48ba9a505835e525efdc

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Standard multiple regression across all 95 participants (Reading comprehension ~ Reading fluency*Group) run before computing the RCR index; fluency explained only 11% of adjusted variance in comprehension, with no group difference in the fluency–comprehension relationship.

"the interaction of group x reading fluency was not significant (β = 0.02, SE = 0.25 t = 0.13, p = .89), likewise the group effect was not significant (β = -0.09, SE = 0.25, t = -0.68, p = .50); though reading comprehension was partially explained by reading fluency (β = 0.39, SE = 0.15, t = 2.54, p < .01, see Figure 2a), with a low Adjusted-R² of 0.11 explained variance."

Learner Variables¶

• Reading and Language — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
