TeWiPrax

In the TeWiPrax project, researchers and teachers from the group „Sprachförderung/Mehrsprachigkeit“ of the “Campusschulen” program collaboratively develop and test materials that support secondary school students in understanding scientific texts. A particular focus is on academic and subject-specific vocabulary.

LeITEr

Within the LeITEr project, a school-based intervention for fourth and fifth graders is being developed and evaluated that combines the teaching of reading strategies with strategies for regulating emotions and motivation.

Wirk-BRISE

The sub-project of the second project phase (2025–2029) in the BiEn department at DIPF is dedicated to the effects of the early childhood support chain on the development of basic skills in reading, spelling and arithmetic over the course of the primary school years.

Rocket

The Rocket project investigates the relationships between orthographic knowledge and individual reading and spelling development in German-speaking second graders. The project will also investigate other relevant predictors of written language acquisition, such as phonological awareness, auditory memory and naming speed. The planned longitudinal analysis will contribute to a better understanding of the role of orthographic knowledge in the development of reading and spelling performance.

MotivO

Project MotivO aims at investigating and comparing motivational aspects of reading achievement across orthographies (German vs. Hebrew). Within the context of a cooperation project, German and Israeli 2nd and 4th Graders will be compared regarding their reading motivation and reading achievement in a cross-language research design to detect positive or negative feelings towards reading as well as changes across time.

LEGA

The LEGA project analyses the use of reading strategies by primary school children. It compares the use of reading strategies between class levels and relates this to existing vocabulary and contextual information. The aim is to find out more about the conditions under which efficient (retrieval) strategies, which are important for fluent reading, are used and how this use can be supported.

KonText

The KonText project investigates how grammatical features of texts and individual characteristics of readers (e.g. multilingualism) influence text comprehension. The focus is on the comprehension of linguistic means of indicating basic sequential relationships, so-called causal connectors (e.g. because, since, therefore). The project aims to find out (i) whether explicit labelling of causal relations facilitates text comprehension, (ii) for which causal connectors this is true, and (iii) which students benefit from this.

GUIDEPREP

The Europe-wide project ‘Growing Up in Digital Europe’ (GUIDE) analyses the success factors for the development of well-being in a digital world. Over a period of about 25 years, two birth cohorts (infants and school-age children) and their parents will be systematically surveyed. The upstream project GUIDEPREP (‘GUIDE Preparatory Phase’) will develop the necessary research infrastructure for the GUIDE panel between 2022 and 2026.

FLINK

The FLINK project is investigating a computer-based fluency training programme. Children in the middle and lower reading achievement range in grades 3 to 6 can complete up to 54 training units in one school year. The training is accompanied by regular progress diagnostics and can be completed largely independently.
