Callula Killingly; Linda J. Graham; Haley Tancredi; Pamela Snow – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Reading comprehension is contingent on both oral language comprehension and word-level reading ability, skills that are thought to be intrinsically related in the early school years. However, while previous studies examining bidirectional relationships among oral vocabulary and reading development have generally found an association between word…

Pattemore, Matthew; Gilabert, Roger – Language Learning Journal, 2023
This study investigates the provision of two types of auditory elaborative automated digital feedback (metalinguistic and informational) in the context of a digital game for reading skills development in English as a foreign language. Nineteen 11-year-old Spanish-Catalan school children played through two digital minigames while their…

Mor, Billy; Prior, Anat – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Reading efficiently in a second language (L2) is a crucial skill, but it is not universally achieved. Here we ask whether L2 reading efficiency is better captured as a language specific skill or whether it is mostly shared across L1 and L2, relying on general language abilities. To this end, we examined word frequency and predictability effects in…

Wang, Hua-Chen; Li, Luan; Xu Rattanasone, Nan; Demuth, Katherine; Castles, Anne – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Morphological knowledge is known to be positively associated with reading ability. However, whether morphological knowledge affects children's learning of new orthographic representations is less clear. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate morphological effects on orthographic learning in English, and whether this effect, if any, is different…

Eghbaria-Ghanamah, Hazar; Ghanamah, Rafat; Shalhoub-Awwad, Yasmin; Adi-Japha, Esther; Karni, Avi – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Oral language proficiency in kindergarten can facilitate the acquisition of reading and writing. However, in diglossic languages, like Arabic, the large gap between the spoken and the formal, modern standard (MSA) varieties of the language may restrict the benefits of oral language proficiency to subsequent literacy skills. Here, we tested, in a…

Ke, Sihui – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2022
This research compared the contributions of lexical inferencing, decoding, and listening comprehension to reading comprehension in Chinese-speaking learners of English as a second language (ESL) enrolled in university bridging programs in the U.S. and Chinese-speaking university learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) in mainland China.…

Lindinger, Nadine M.; Jacobson, Sandra W.; Davidson, Landi; Conradie, Simone; Dodge, Neil C.; Molteno, Christopher D.; Meintjes, Ernesta M.; Gaab, Nadine; Jacobson, Joseph L. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: To date, research on effects of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) has focused on a broad range of cognitive impairments, but relatively few studies have examined effects of PAE on development of reading skills. Although PAE has been linked to poorer reading comprehension, it remains unclear whether this impairment is attributable to…

Li, Miao; Kirby, John R.; Geva, Esther; Koh, Poh Wee; Zhang, Huan – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
This study examined (a) the identification of various reading groups across languages in Chinese (L1) adolescents learning English as a second language (ESL), in terms of their word-reading and reading comprehension skills, (b) overlap in reading group membership across languages, and (c) the performance of the various reading groups on…

Gabriella Reynolds; Krystal L. Werfel; Sarah Hudgins; Stephen Camarata; Fred H. Bess – Exceptional Children, 2024
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the types of spelling errors made by children with mild to moderate hearing loss (CMMHL) compared with children with typical hearing (TH) and to determine if types of spelling errors were related to linguistic or audiologic factors. CMMHL and TH completed measures of spelling, spoken language, speech…

Erikson, Jessie A.; Alt, Mary; Gray, Shelley; Green, Samuel; Hogan, Tiffany P.; Cowan, Nelson – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
This study examined accuracy on syllable-final (coda) consonants in newly-learned English-like nonwords to determine whether school-aged bilingual children may be more vulnerable to making errors on English-only codas than their monolingual, English-speaking peers, even at a stage in development when phonological accuracy in productions of…

Morphemes, the smallest meaning-bearing units of language, recur in many words. Therefore, morphological knowledge can facilitate the comprehension of novel words. This study tested the effectiveness of a morphological training program on children's learning and retention of exposed words and morphologically related unexposed words compared with…

Mesa, Carol; Yeomans-Maldonado, Gloria – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the kindergarten, first-, and second-grade predictors of reading comprehension in bilingual children. Specifically, we evaluated the role that Spanish and English skills play in predicting English reading comprehension in third grade. Method: As part of a longitudinal study, 248 bilingual children…

Young-Suk Grace Kim; Karen R. Harris; Rebecca Goldstone; April Camping; Steve Graham – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2025
Purpose: We conducted a randomized control trial of an instructional program, SRSD Plus, which integrates reading for writing to inform, writing, oral language, spelling and handwriting for students in Grades 1 and 2. Method: A total of 10 teachers and their 248 students in Grade 1 (n = 121) and Grade 2 (n = 127) in the southwestern part of the US…

Steacy, Laura M.; Rigobon, Valeria M.; Edwards, Ashley A.; Abes, Daniel R.; Marencin, Nancy C.; Smith, Kathryn; Elliott, James D.; Wade-Woolley, Lesly; Compton, Donald L. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: The probability of a child reading a word correctly is influenced by both child skills and properties of the word. The purpose of this study was to investigate child-level skills (set for variability and vocabulary), word-level properties (concreteness), word structure (mono- vs polymorphemic), and interactions between these properties…

Kelso, Katrina; Whitworth, Anne; Leitão, Suze – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2022
This study aimed to profile the sublexical, lexical, and text level language skills, and cognitive processes of a sub-group of children with poor reading comprehension known as poor comprehenders. An assessment protocol was developed to assess each of the components from Perfetti and Stafura's Reading Systems Framework. A comprehensive profile was…
