Participants were 218 children who were enrolled in early childhood special education
administered with an assessment of early literacy skills in the fall of the academic year.
Based on results of latent profile analysis, four distinct literacy profiles were identified,
with the single largest profile (55% of children) representing children with generally
poor literacy skills across all areas examined. Also, children in the two low-risk
categories resulted higher oral language skills than those in the high-risk and moderate-
risk profiles. Meantime, across three of the four early literacy measures, children with
language as their primary disability had higher scores than those with LI related with other
disabilities. These findings reveal that there are specific profiles of early literacy skills
among children with LI, with about one half of children exhibiting a profile indicating

reading problems. Accordingly, past researches indicated that teachers were relatively
accurate in assessing children's overall reading ability. This study examined the accuracy
of kindergarten and first grade teacher rating scales in predicting children's reading scores
on assessments in kindergarten, first, third, and fifth grades. Primarily, the sample
included 8,806 children from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten unit
(ECLS-K). Results showed that teacher ratings significantly predicted children's later
reading scores from first all the way through fifth grade. The practical implications of the
results were conferred in consonance with early identification of children at-risk for

were the eyes were likely to show slow, upward drifts followed by quick downward
movement at the physical examination, and the amplitude of the downward movement

evaluation of the eye tracker. Though it was considered that there was ta possibility that
the spontaneously repeated eye movement was classified as the spontaneous downbeat

This specifically sought to answer the following objectives: describe the adjustments,
differentiate the teachers' reading adjustments, strategies and scaffolds in teaching non-
readers; analyze the teaching reading efficiency of non-readers using effective teaching
reading strategies; and find significant correlation of non-readers' grades and reading
teachers' reading adjustments, strategies and scaffolds. This study utilized mixed
methods of research. Primarily, case studies of five public schools teachers were selected
