Psyridou, Maria; Torppa, Minna; Tolvanen, Asko; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Koponen, Tuire – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The aim of the present study was to examine the kinds of developmental profiles of arithmetic fluency skills that can be identified across Grades 1-9 (ages 7-16) in a large Finnish sample (n = 2,518). The study also examined whether membership in the developmental profiles could be predicted using a comprehensive set of kindergarten-age factors,…

Vataja, Pia; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Aro, Mikko; Westerholm, Jari; Risberg, Ann-Katrine; Salmi, Paula – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
The aim of the study was to examine which predictor variables are related to literacy skills among monolingual Swedish (n = 269) and bilingual Finnish-Swedish (n = 229) children at the first grade in the Swedish-speaking schools in Finland. The participants were assessed in phonological awareness, letter knowledge, rapid automatized naming (RAN),…

Judith Solheim, Oddny; Torppa, Minna; Henning Uppstad, Per; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2021
Early identification of children at risk of developing reading difficulties is crucial for effective interventions. While orthographies and educational contexts differ, predictors included in early at-risk screening tend to remain rather homogeneous across countries. In this study, we compared longitudinal prediction patterns of being among the 20…

Manu, Mari; Torppa, Minna; Eklund, Kenneth; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Niemi, Pekka – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
One of the aims for compulsory education is to diminish or alleviate differences in children's skills existing prior to school entry. However, a growing gender gap in reading development has increasingly been documented. Regrettably, there is scant evidence on whether differences between genders (favouring girls) have their roots in pre-reading…

Koponen, Tuire; Eklund, Kenneth; Heikkilä, Riikka; Salminen, Jonna; Fuchs, Lynn; Fuchs, Douglas; Aro, Mikko – Child Development, 2020
This study examines the core predictors of the covariance in reading and arithmetic fluency and the domain-general cognitive skills that explain the core predictors and covariance. Seven-year-old Finnish children (N = 200) were assessed on rapid automatized naming (RAN), phonological awareness, letter knowledge, verbal counting, number writing,…

Psyridou, Maria; Tolvanen, Asko; de Jong, Peter F.; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Torppa, Minna – Developmental Psychology, 2021
This study examined developmental profiles of reading fluency and reading comprehension in Grades 1 to 9 (ages 7 to 15) in a large Finnish sample (N = 2,518). In addition, early predictors of the profiles were analyzed with respect to kindergarten cognitive skills (phonological awareness, letter knowledge, rapid automized naming [RAN], number…

Torppa, Minna; Georgiou, George K.; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Niemi, Pekka; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2016
This study examined the dynamic relationships among the components of the Simple View of Reading (SVR) in a transparent orthography (Finnish) and the predictive value of cognitive skills (phonological awareness, letter knowledge, rapid naming, and vocabulary) on the SVR components. Altogether, 1,815 Finnish children were followed from kindergarten…
