Career Benefits Associated with Mentoring for Mentors: A Meta-Analysis Authors

چکیده
The purpose of the study is to differentiate between behaviors of ADHD: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity and how each domain contributes to reading achievement in elementary school-aged children. Data from 131 children were collected, which included performance from reading fluency and comprehension measures as well as parent and teacher ratings of ADHD behaviors based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV) criteria. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that inattentive behaviors were strongly linked to reading fluency and comprehension. Hyperactivity and impulsive behaviors did not predict reading achievement. A significant two-way interaction was found only for gender and inattention with reading comprehension as the outcome. Many of the behaviors related to inattention strongly predicted reading fluency, reading comprehension, and overall reading ability. Boys who exhibited inattentive behaviors performed more poorly on reading comprehension measures than girls with inattentive behaviors. Practical/Social Implications Monitoring progress regularly at home and in school is important for children with reading and attention difficulties to determine whether treatment (e.g., medications, parent training) or school-based interventions and services are helping the child to succeed academically and socially. Brief rating scales serve that purpose well, particularly for parents and teachers to evaluate the child in different settings. For young children at risk of early reading or behavioral problems, practitioners should use these brief rating scales or other similar tools in developmental screenings or assessments. In addition, longitudinal studies can also be helpful to look at the utility of behavioral outcomes in each grade level. Citation Pham, A. (2013).
