In other words, sensitivity and specificity levels of 90 % and higher are desirable, but with the exception of a very small number of research studies limited to
predicting reading outcomes for 1st graders (Compton, Fuchs, Fuchs, & Bryant, 2006; O'Connor & Jenkins, 1999) these ideals have yet to be reached.

Harvard Graduate School of Education will work with the Strategic Education Research Partnership and other partners to complete a program of work designed to a) investigate the predictors of
reading comprehension in 4th - 8th grade students, in particular the role of skills at perspective - taking, complex reasoning, and academic language in
predicting deep comprehension
outcomes, b) track developmental trajectories across the middle grades in perspective - taking, complex reasoning, academic language skill, and deep comprehension, c) develop and evaluate curricular and pedagogical approaches designed to promote deep comprehension in the content areas in 4th - 8th grades, and d) develop and evaluate an intervention program designed for 6th - 8th grade students
reading at 3rd - 4th grade level.The HGSE team will take responsibility, in collaboration with colleagues at other institutions, for the following components of the proposed work: Instrument development: Pilot data collection using interviews and candidate assessment items, collaboration with DiscoTest colleagues to develop coding of the pilot data so as to produce well - justified learning sequences for perspective - taking, complex reasoning, academic language skill, and deep comprehension.Curricular development: HGSE investigators Fischer, Selman, Snow, and Uccelli will contribute to the development of a discussion - based curriculum for 4th - 5th graders, and to the expansion of an existing discussion - based curriculum for 6th - 8th graders, with a particular focus on science content (Fischer), social studies content (Selman), and academic language skills (Snow & Uccelli).

A decomposition methodology examined the contribution from different sources in explaining the SES gradient in early cognitive
outcomes.34 Similar to the methodology used in the UK Millennium Cohort Study, we focus on the quintile 1 — quintile 5 (Q1 — Q5) and quintile 1 — quintile 3 (Q1 — Q3) gaps and calculate the percentile points and the percentage of the raw gaps explained by each candidate explanatory factor and each domain of factors.2 This was done by taking the product of the mean gap in each explanatory factor (mean difference between Q1 — Q5 and Q1 — Q3) by the β coefficients from linear regression models that
predict reading and math ability from SES and all candidate explanatory factors.
