Model 2 of the cross-classified generalized random-effects analysis, adding phonological awareness and number of competitors alongside general predictors. The model "explained 55.83% of the child-level variance" with the printed extra increments above general predictors.

"This model explained 55.83% of the child-level variance, 47.79% of the word-level variance, and 76.66% of the school-level variance, an extra 19.22%, 17.36%, and 26.48% respectively above the general predictors."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Phonological Awareness — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• The impact of phonological competitors on SfV accuracy is greater for children with low decoding or low word reading skill — related
• Word-level features predict SfV item difficulty: significant associations with length, order, and number of competitors, but not frequency, concreteness, or surprisal — related
• Word attack and the word attack × max P→O surprisal interaction add variance beyond phonology, indicating phonology-to-orthography knowledge contributes to SfV performance — related
• Word identification adds unique variance and moderates SfV performance, with a three-way word attack × word identification × max P→O surprisal interaction — related
• Set for Variability performance is strongly correlated with word identification, word attack, phonological awareness, and vocabulary in grades 2–5 — related
