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.

q2 i? German sixth-graders with isolated writing deficits showed good RAN results but significantly worse PA results, unlike children with isolated reading deficits. → Döhla D and Heim S 2016

q2 · i? · associational · r?

Comparison study reported by the review: Winkes (2014) compared German-speaking sixth-graders with isolated writing deficits to those with isolated reading deficits. The writing-deficit group "showed good results in RAN tasks but significant worse results in PA", indicating RAN results differ for German readers and writers.

"Winkes (2014)compared German speaking six-graders with isolated writing deficits to those with isolated reading deficits. Children who are below average only in writing showed good results in RAN tasks but significant worse results in PA."
