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? In the reviews, MLs' English comprehension depended on their ability to use comprehension strategies, and strategy use distinguished better readers more accurately than their English fluency. → Kittle 2024

Kittle 2024¶
Kittle, J. M., Amendum, S. J., & Budde, C. M. (2024). What Does Research Say About the Science of Reading for K-5 Multilingual Learners? A Systematic Review of Systematic Reviews. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09942-6
q2 · i? · review · r2
Narrative synthesis of Klingner et al. (2006) findings reported within this review of reviews: strategy use distinguished better readers more than fluency, MLs' perceptions of cognitive strategies predicted English reading comprehension, and negative strategies were negatively related to comprehension gains. No effect size is printed.
"Notably, the use of strategies distinguished better readers more accurately than their English fluency. In addition, the authors highlighted findings that showed MLs’ perceptions of cognitive reading strategies were predictive of their English reading comprehension"
