New Findings in Educational Psychology Described from University of La Laguna (Curriculum-based Measurement for Early Writing Struggles in Kindergarten: A Systematic Review).

A systematic review conducted by researchers from the University of La Laguna in Spain highlights the importance of early detection and intervention in children with specific learning disabilities. The study focuses on the use of curriculum-based measures (CBMs) as tools for early assessments in kindergarten students' writing skills. The review found that there is a scarcity of evidence-based tools for identifying early writing difficulties, emphasizing the need for further research in early childhood education. The findings suggest that CBMs can be reliable and sensitive measures for assessing writing skills in young children. [Extracted from the article]
