Subclaims¶

q3 i? Syllable stress awareness correlated significantly with all spelling skills, and literacy skills correlated with in-game performance, including rs = .60 between standardized spelling and the in-game spelling game. → Holz 2023

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Partial Spearman correlations (controlling for sex and grade, Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted) among literacy skills assessed at T3 and in-game scores; "𝑟𝑠 =.60" between standardized spelling and game G4, and rs = ±.47 between syllable stress awareness and all spelling skills, all significant at α = .01.

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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