q3 i? The masked version of Find the Picture significantly predicted silent fluency (TOSCRF) over and above unmasked accuracy. → Roembke Tanja C. 2019

Evidence¶

Roembke Tanja C. 2019¶

Roembke Tanja C., Hazeltine Eliot, Reed Deborah K., McMurray Bob. (2019). Automaticity of Word Recognition is a Unique Predictor of Reading Fluency in Middle-School Students. Journal of Educational Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000279

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Hierarchical regression on silent fluency (TOSCRF) in the same 56-student sample. The article states "silent fluency was significantly predicted by the masked version of Find the Picture (ΔR2 = 0.069)" after vocabulary and unmasked accuracy were entered first.

"Most importantly, over and above unmasked tasks, silent fluency was significantly predicted by the masked version of Find the Picture (ΔR2 = 0.069)."
