Subclaims¶

q2 i? Significant positive Spearman correlations were found between June (third assessment) narrative connectedness (LCC and LSC) and October (fifth assessment) phonological awareness, reading comprehension, and word accuracy, after multiple-comparison correction. → Bárbara Malcorra 2024

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Spearman correlation analysis (corrected alpha = 0.025; Bonferroni across six comparisons, corrected α = 0.0083) relating graph attributes from the March and June sessions to October reading measures; the figure matrix prints values such as 0.22 and 0.23 for the LCC/LSC–word accuracy and related cells, marked significant.

"Significant Spearman positive correlations between reading performance and LCC and LSC were found. Connectedness from oral narratives in June (third assessment) positively corre lated with phonological awareness, reading comprehension, and word accuracy taken in October (fifth assessment) (Fig.1d)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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