Reading Interventions for Struggling Readers in the Upper Elementary Grades: A synthesis of 20 years of resarch. Reading and Writing, 23(8), pp. 889-912.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/8351A synthesis of the extant research on reading interventions for students with reading difficulties and disabilities in fourth and fifth grade (ages 9–11) is presented. Thirteen studies with treatment/ comparison study designs and eleven single group or single subject studies were located and synthesized. Findings from the 24 studies revealed high effects for comprehension interventions on researcher-developed comprehension measures. Word recognition interventions yielded small to moderate effects on a range of reading outcomes. Few studies were located implementing vocabulary and multi-component interventions.Text21 pages1 file (.pdf)enreading difficultieslearning disabilitiesreading interventionArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1007/s11145-009-9179-5
