School-level performance on standardized reading comprehension was obtained for 259 public schools in a South Florida district with 270,000 children.

Thirty-eight percent of all children, or about 100,000, qualified for free or reduced lunch (FRL) because of low family…
Metacognitions about Language Skill and Working Memory among Monolingual and Bilingual College Students

Monolingual, bilingual …

In agreement with previous studies by Mahoney and Kimper, and by Kern, Mirels and Hinshaw, confirmatory data were sought more often. The results indicate that scientists' performance is similar to that of undergraduat…
