... For instance, when researchers collect reports from teachers and parents, it is an acknowledgment that teachers have expertise in observing youth behavior within one set of social contexts and their constituent contingencies (i.e., school), whereas parents have expertise in observing behavior within an often fundamentally distinct set of contexts and contingencies (i.e., home). As noted in recent work on these issues , the kinds of informants from whom youth mental health scholars collect reports are regarded as structurally different informants, or informants who systematically vary in the processes, through which they provide reports, and the processes bear some relevance to our understanding of the measured domain (see also Eid et al., 2008;Geiser et al., 2012;Konold and Cornell, 2015;Konold and Sanders, 2020). ...

... Children's letter sound knowledge is critical for successful reading and spelling (Hulme et al., 2012), and young children readily learn letter sounds when taught . Moreover, children benefit from teaching letter names and sounds simultaneously (Piasta et al., 2010;Roberts et al., 2018) and when these are introduced at a faster pace (e.g., three per week; Vadasy & Sanders, 2021). Notably, certain letter sounds are more difficult than others (e.g., h, y) and may require additional instructional intensity (Piasta, 2016). ...

... Recognised as vital predictors in reading readiness, LNK and LSK greatly influence reading achievement (Sigmundsson, Eriksen, Ofteland, & Haga, 2017;Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998). LNK promotes children's LSK and phonemic sensitivity skills thus making LNK and LSK the fundamental skills to help children decode words and write (Foulin, 2005;Roberts, Vadasy, & Sanders, 2019). ...

... e notes in the score image is discrete and evenly distributed, mainly consisting of straight lines or curves in multiple directions, solid and hollow near-circle shapes, and some of the notes have the same shape, with only differences in position, while some of the notes are small and easily confused with the noise in the score [17]. e convolutional layer in the CNN has local connectivity and weight sharing, which can facilitate the extraction of edge features and position information of the notes; the activation function layer can enhance the expressiveness of the CNN and make the CNN microscopic, to realize the nonlinear mapping from low-dimensional simple features to high-dimensional complex features in sheet music images; the pooling layer can reduce the weights while retaining the main features of the convolutional layer. ...

... In order for alphabet knowledge to support decoding and word reading, the names and sounds of all 26 letters need to be memorized and then retrieved not only accurately but also fluently (Clemens, Lai, Burke, & Wu, 2017). Ample research from the science of reading has shown that many beginning readers face challenges in learning the arbitrary connections between letter forms and their names and sounds (Castles et al., 2018), and Roberts, Vadasy, and Sanders (2019) described this process as a form of paired-associate learning. ...

... Regardless of writing approach, both forms appear to create positive outcomes for caregiver well-being. In addition, a multitude of research has found that expressive writing can be helpful for those experiencing illness themselves (Stanton & Dano -Burg, 2002) and for improving caregivers' supportive messages toward care-recipients (Harvey et al., 2019). Given the e cacy of expressive writing across multiple settings and contexts, it can be a useful approach for caregivers or recipients looking for a cost-e ective way to improve health. ...
