Assessing the effectiveness of a multicomponent reading comprehension intervention in Y3 children

The dataset relates to an experimental PhD study of 34 pupils in Year 3 (aged 7-8) in the UK. Background information was gathered on each child, followed by testing of (1) single word reading accuracy and phonemic decoding skills using TOWRE, (2) target and non-target vocabulary using a bespoke measure and (3) connected text reading accuracy, reading rate and reading comprehension using YARC at three time points. T1 and T2 assessments took place prior to SuRe programme (a multicomponent reading comprehension intervention), T3 assessment was directly after the intervention finished. Ethical approval was granted by the University of Sheffield Reference Number 045323.

本数据集关联一项针对英国34名三年级（7至8岁）学生开展的实验性博士研究。研究首先收集每名儿童的背景信息，随后开展三项测试：(1) 采用TOWRE测量单词阅读准确率与音素解码能力；(2) 采用定制化测评工具测量目标与非目标词汇量；(3) 采用YARC在三个时间点评估连贯文本阅读准确率、阅读速度与阅读理解能力。其中T1与T2测评均在SuRe项目（一种多组分阅读理解干预方案）实施前完成，T3测评则于该干预项目结束后即刻开展。本研究已获得谢菲尔德大学伦理批准，批准编号为045323。
