- Abstract
PRESENTS a follow-up study on the effect of first grade reading treatments on children who were likely underachievers. Subjects were 230 children from the Cedar Rapids, Iowa Reading Research Project, on of the 27 U.S.O.E. First Grade Reading Studies. The Cedar Rapids project was designed to develop and assess methods and materials especially adapted to low-reading-group pupils. The follow-up study examined the questions ‘How does differentiated instruction for low-group pupils at the first grade level affect later learning abilities?’. Statistical analysis for the longitudinal study included correlational analysis, canonical analysis, multivariate analysis, and covariate analysis. Results indicated that: (1) there were no significant differences between treatment groups at first or sixth grade level; (2) first grade reading achievement was found to be a significantly strong predictor of sixth grade reading achievement and more reliable than first grade readiness measures; (3) the correlational structure of achievement related variables revealed a striking persistence and intensification of the g-type factor, with the emergence of a strongly sex-linked second factor at sixth grade.
