Cross-language transfer in bilingual children with reading difficulties
Approximately 40% of children worldwide learn to read in a language other than their home language or in two languages simultaneously. Although literacy instruction in one language can enhance reading outcomes in another, less is known about how such cross-language effects unfold over time in children with reading difficulties. In a pre-registered, cross-over randomised controlled trial (registered on 23/09/2022; ID: ISRCTN10963572), we evaluated…
Decoding and vocabulary improvements mediate sustained gains in reading comprehension
BACKGROUND: Reading comprehension is critical for academic success, yet many children with persistent decoding difficulties struggle to achieve it. This study examined whether a multicomponent literacy intervention is effective in improving reading comprehension and whether any gains in comprehension are mediated by improvements in word reading and vocabulary knowledge. METHODS: In a randomised controlled trial (RCT), 285 English-speaking childre…
Compounded Disadvantage
Twice-exceptional learners, students with both giftedness and disability (e.g., ADHD, ASD, dyslexia), face significant educational barriers in schools. This study examined stakeholder perspectives on the most pressing issues affecting twice-exceptional students in Australia. An online survey collected responses from 118 adult stakeholders. Reflexive thematic analysis identified five interconnected themes: absence of national guidelines and suppor…
Move, Rove, Love
Seeing written forms of novel words during learning can help memorize vocabulary, but it may alter pronunciation, especially when orthography is opaque like in English. This study investigated whether a color-code helps participants learn novel words with unpredictable pronunciation. Sixty Spanish speakers learned 16 English-like pseudowords in one of three training conditions. Audio group learned training items with the auditory word form only. …
Enabling Pathways for Students from Refugee and Asylum-Seeker Backgrounds in Higher Education
University students from refugee and asylum-seeker backgrounds (SRABs) have unique resettlement experiences related to disrupted education, family expectations, financial pressures, and visa uncertainty. These arduous experiences often translate into a strong determination to access education and persevere with tertiary studies. Supportive educational trajectories are crucial to increase social cohesion and help redress the personal and social di…
Neighborhood Poverty as a Predictor of Intimate Partner Violence Among White, Black, and Hispanic Couples in the United States
Finding the Past in the Present
In the Powder River Basin of Wyoming, our nation's interest in protecting its cultural heritage collides with the high demand for carbon fuels. "Clinker" deposits dot the basin. These distinctive buttes, created by the underground combustion of coal, are underlain by coal veins; they also provided the main lithic resources for prehistoric hunter-gatherers. These deposits signify both a likelihood of extractable carbon and high archaeological site…
Inclusive education and schools as organizations
Inclusive schools have tended to be analysed from one of two perspectives: either as reified organizations with (relatively) stable characteristics which lead to their becoming 'effective schools for all'; or as 'sites' in which micro-political and other policy processes intersect and (frequently) subvert attempts at inclusion. This paper presents acase study of an apparently inclusive school which, it suggests, cannot be understood fully from ei…
Theories of Inclusion, Theories of Schools
The Government's recent commitment to inclusive education aligns English policy in special needs education with the international inclusion movement. One of the founding assumptions of that movement is that mainstream schools can and should develop structures and practices which will allow them to respond more fully to the diversity of their pupil populations. This article reports a study of four comprehensive schools seeking to develop in this m…
Working with Able Learners in Regular Classrooms in the United Kingdom
This paper provides a concise historical and current account of the context of the able learner in the United Kingdom and describes a small scale research and development project in the North East of England in which teachers in the ordinaiy classroom setting attempted, with some success, to improve their practices in relation to able learners

Trouble at t'mill
Despite the 'archaeology' in its name, industrial archaeology is a world of its own which barely figures in ANTIQUITY or the other general archaeology journals. A consistent trend in recent archaeology has been an interest in landscapes and the physical contexts of settlement, studies by survey rather than excavation of rich spot sites for their own sake. That landscape is usually rural, and its industry - mills, olive presses, or building-stone …
Excavation and Survey at Nohmul, Belize, 1983
The second season of investigations, in 1983, at the Maya ceremonial center and community of Nohmul, northern Belize, included mapping, test excavations in the settlement, and major excavations in the ceremonial precinct. Following developmental maxima in the Late Formative and Late Classic periods, a mosaic pattern of alternating large and small residential groups, with some areas free of mounds but yielding evidence of habitation, reached its e…
Archaeological Survey of Zanzibar
Dr Mark Horton, junior research fellow at St. Hugh's College, Oxford, and his wife, Kate Clark, a research fellow at the Institute of Industrial Archaeology at Ironbridge, have prepared a detailed report on their archaeological survey of Zanzibar and Pemba islands in 1984. They intended to follow up this year. Meanwhile, this note draws attention to some of the more important findings so far
