Exploring Preschoolers’ Vocabulary and Knowledge Acquisition from Informational Video and Shared Reading
Although children frequently engage with digital media, their exposure to informational content such as documentaries remains limited. This exploratory study examined how preschoolers learn vocabulary and content knowledge from a child-friendly documentary presented through shared reading, video viewing, or both formats. Sixty 4- to 5-year-old children were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions. Children either experienced one format t…

Paraprofessionals' use of classroom management in a small‐group intervention
Although previous research suggests the use of classroom management strategies can support student engagement and learning, gaps in the literature still exist including the frequency of classroom management strategies in small‐group instruction. The purpose of this descriptive study was to measure the frequency of paraprofessionals' ( n = 94) classroom management strategies within the context of a small‐group intervention for kindergarteners at‐r…

Differential patterns of growth in reading and math skills during elementary school
This study investigated developmental trajectories of reading and math using latent-growth-curve analyses across multiple academic skills, measures, and multiple time periods within a single sample. Reading-related growth was marked by significant individual differences during the early elementary-school period and non-significant individual differences during the late elementary-school period. For math-related skills, non-significant individual …

How the Science of Reading Informs 21st‐Century Education
The science of reading should be informed by an evolving evidence base built on the scientific method. Decades of basic research and randomized controlled trials of interventions and instructional routines have formed a substantial evidence base to guide best practices in reading instruction, reading intervention, and the early identification of at‐risk readers. The recent resurfacing of questions about what constitutes the science of reading is …

Three-Level Longitudinal Mediation with Nested Units
In the study, extending from the cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) and the 2-2-1 cross-sectional multilevel mediation model, we proposed a three-level longitudinal mediation model to evaluate the causal process among variables at different levels over time. Given the complexity of the proposed model, Bayesian estimation was used. A simulation study was conducted to examine the estimation accuracy of Bayesian estimation for the proposed model. Facto…

Exploring Teacher Factors that Influence Teacher-Child Relationships in Head Start
The purpose of this paper was to explore factors that influence teacher-child relationships in Head Start. Three Head Start teachers from three centers were recruited for this study. Interview and observation data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach by using the qualitative data analysis software NVivo. Two coders completed the coding process. Inter-coder reliability and other triangulation techniques were employed to ensure the credib…

Examining the predictive relations between two aspects of self-regulation and growth in preschool children’s early literacy skills
There is strong evidence that self-regulatory processes are linked to early academic skills, both concurrently and longitudinally. The majority of extant longitudinal studies, however, have been conducted using autoregressive techniques that may not accurately model change across time. The purpose of this study was to examine the unique associations between 2 components of self-regulation, attention and executive functioning (EF), and growth in e…

Enhancing early child care quality and learning for toddlers at risk
Despite reports of positive effects of high-quality child care, few experimental studies have examined the process of improving low-quality center-based care for toddler-age children. In this article, we report intervention effects on child care teachers' behaviors and children's social, emotional, behavioral, early literacy, language, and math outcomes as well as the teacher-child relationship. The intervention targeted the use of a set of respo…

Learning From Youth Exposed to Domestic Violence
Up to 8 million American children witness domestic violence (DV) every year. Since this discovery in the mid-1980s, psychologists and social service professionals have conducted research with children exposed to DV. This ethnographic study expands on existing research by examining how youth exposed to DV perceive their experiences and staff interventions. Findings show they draw on gender stereotypes for behaviors, and these frequently resist DV …

The caregivers completed survey questions on family background and home literacy activities and materials. Hierarchical cluster analyses performed on three randomly constituted subsamples and on the total sample revealed that a three-cluster solution best fit the data. Clusters differed on frequency of shared reading and literacy te…
Phonological sensitivity
S This study investigated the order of acquisition of phonological sensitivity skills among preschool and kindergarten children. Phonological sensitivity was examined in terms of four levels of linguistic complexity (words, syllables, onsets and rimes, phonemes) across four levels of task complexity (blending detection, elision detection, blending, and elision). Participants were 947 two‐ to five‐year‐old children from diverse backgrounds. Hierar…
