A validation study of the Martin and Pratt nonword reading test
The Martin and Pratt Nonword Reading Test (‘Martin & Pratt’) is an Australian-normed assessment of nonword reading accuracy. The current study was conducted to examine whether this test still validly and accurately estimates the decoding skills of primary school-aged children, despite its norms having been collected in 1996. To address these questions, reading assessment data were collected from 176 Australian students (3 independent schools) fro…
Young Women's Empowerment in Scottish Agriculture: The Challenge of Competing Discourses
Women have started to feature more prominently in the Scottish agricultural industry, but despite recent government initiatives to encourage more young women into the industry, they continue to face barriers to pursuing their chosen career. Drawing on 16 semi-structured interviews, this article explores the views and experiences of young women entering or seeking to build a career in agriculture, in particular their perceptions of gender equality…
Factors contributing to reading comprehension in children with varying degrees of word-level proficiency
The present study was conducted to explore how the relationships between reading comprehension constructs change according to word reading accuracy, as measured in a large convenience sample ( n = 857) of school-aged students (Years 3–6) with reading difficulties. Multiple regression analyses containing interaction variables were conducted, to determine whether word reading accuracy moderated the relationships between the dependent variable (i.e.…
Use of early word-reading fluency measures to predict outcomes on the Phonics Screening Check
Teachers in England and South Australia annually administer the Phonics Screening Check (PSC) to Year 1 students, with the purpose of identifying struggling readers. Students who do not meet the score threshold have not met the expected standard of word-decoding ability, meaning further support may be warranted. We sought to quantify the extent to which other early reading measures, such as the Wheldall Assessment of Reading Nonwords (WARN) and W…
Spelling in Children With Cochlear Implants: Evidence of Underlying Processing Differences
This study compared the spelling skills and sub-skills of young children with cochlear implants (CIs) who use spoken language only (n = 14) with those of a same-aged typically hearing (TH) control group (n = 30). Spelling accuracy was assessed using irregular and nonsense word stimuli. Error and regression analyses were conducted to provide insight into the phonological and orthographic spelling strategies used by each group. Results indicated th…
