TL;DR: This paper conducted a meta-analysis of vocabulary interventions in grades pre-K to 12 with 37 studies to better understand the impact of vocabulary on comprehension, finding that vocabulary instruction was effective at increasing students' ability to comprehend text with custom measures, but was less effective for standardized measures (d = 0.10).

TL;DR: Vaughan et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a Response to Intervention (RTI) approach for identifying children with reading disabilities, which is based on the premise that students are identified as LD when their response to an effective educational intervention is dramatically inferior to that of peers.

TL;DR: Gouin et al. as discussed by the authors examined the nature and beneficial components of formal support services targeted at reducing the stress levels of parental caregivers of children with developmental disabilities and found that increased levels of social support served as protection against this dysregulation.

TL;DR: Social validity refers to participants' perceptions regarding the goals, procedures, and effects of a practice as mentioned in this paper, and it can serve an important role in understanding, and possibly remedying, obstacles affecting the successful adoption of empirically based practices by the field.

TL;DR: This article conducted a systematic review of the literature to examine research focusing on the teaching, learning, implementation, and evaluation of RTI in GE teacher preparation during the last decade (2003-2013).
