INTERVENTION STUDY Beyond the Rainbow: Retrieval Practice Leads to Better Spelling than does Rainbow Writing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In three experiments, we compared the effectiveness of rainbow writing and retrieval practice, two common methods of spelling instruction. In experiment 1 (n=14), second graders completed 2 days of spelling practice, followed by spelling tests 1 day and 5 weeks later. A repeated measures analysis of variance demonstrated that spelling accuracy for words trained with retrieval practice was higher than for words trained with rainbow writing on both tests (ηp =.49). In experiments 2 (second graders, n=16) and 3 (first graders, n=12), students completed 2 days of spelling practice followed by a spelling test 1 day later. Results replicated experiment 1; spelling accuracy was higher for words trained with retrieval practice compared with rainbow writing (ηp =.42 and .64, respectively). Furthermore, students endorsed both liking and learning from retrieval practice at least as much as (and sometimes more than) rainbow writing. Results demonstrate that retrieval practice is a more useful (and as engaging) training method than is rainbow writing and extend the well-established testing effect to beginning spellers.

The effect lactic acid supplementation in diet of rainbow trout on growth parameters, activity of digestive enzymes and intestinal bacterial flora
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding lactic acid to the diet of rainbow trout on growth indices, activity of digestive enzymes and microbial flora of the fish gastrointestinal tract. For this purpose, 4 diets containing 0, 5, 10 and 20 g of lactic acid per kg of diet were made and each diet was offered to fish in three replications for 8 weeks. The results showed that t...
متن کاملComparison of growth rate and fatty acid profile of Nereis diversicolor fed with faeces and food of rainbow trout
Rainbow trout farms released always a large amount of organic matter into the environment, resulting in environmental contamination. If these waste can be used as a food source for the production of a secondary organism such as Nereis diversicolor, in addition to increasing production, it will reduce the volume of contamination originating from fish farms. In this regard, determining the nutrit...
متن کاملOn Lengths of Rainbow Cycles
We prove several results regarding edge-colored complete graphs and rainbow cycles, cycles with no color appearing on more than one edge. We settle a question posed by Ball, Pultr, and Vojtěchovský [BPV05] by showing that if such a coloring does not contain a rainbow cycle of length n, where n is odd, then it also does not contain a rainbow cycle of length m for all m greater than 2n. In additi...

The aim of this study was to examine the changes in muscle proteome of the rainbow trout fed dietary β-glucan. The experimental diets contained 0 (control), 0.1% and 0.2% β-1,3/1,6 yeast glucan. First, feeding larvae were fed to apparent satiation nine times per day with their respective diets over two months. The percentage of body weight gain and feed efficiency of fish fed 0.2% diet was sign...
