Guadalupe Diaz Lara; Megan M. McClelland – Grantee Submission, 2024
This study explored the relations between parental formal education, residential mobility, and children's school readiness in a sample of 509 Head Start children, 30% of whom were Spanish-speaking Dual Language Learners (DLLs). Additionally, it explored whether the relations between these demographic factors and school readiness varied as a…

Christopher DeCamp; Megan E. Hoffman; Darcey M. Allan; Brittany M. Morris; Christopher J. Lonigan – Grantee Submission, 2025
Despite frequent reliance on teacher and parent ratings of children's behavior for multi-informant assessment, agreement between teachers' and parents' ratings is low. This study examined the predictive utility of teacher and parent ratings for children's self-regulatory outcomes (i.e., executive function, continuous performance task) in four…

Christina Stephens; Robert C. Pianta; Jessica E. Whittaker; Virginia E. Vitiello – Grantee Submission, 2025
Dual language learner children (DLLs) benefit from early childhood education (ECE) and learning multiple languages, but research has predominantly focused on English monolingual children, with limited insight on the ECE and early development of DLLs. This study investigated whether DLLs' developmental assets assessed at pre-k entry (i.e. English…

Luo, Rufan; Pace, Amy; Levine, Dani; Iglesias, Aquiles; de Villiers, Jill; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Wilson, Mary Sweig; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Grantee Submission, 2021
Children learning two languages (Dual Language Learners; DLLs) represent a rapidly growing population in the United States. DLLs are disproportionately more likely to live in families of low socioeconomic status (SES), which places many of them at risk for poor dual-language outcomes. To date, most studies on SES and dual language development have…

Feller, Daniel P.; Kopatich, Ryan D.; Lech, Iwona; Higgs, Karyn – Grantee Submission, 2020
Research comparing the reading strategy use of native and second language (L2) readers has often relied on self-report measures and has, at times, been conducted without measures of reading proficiency. In the present study, we used regression and Bayes' factors to explore how L2 reader status and reading proficiency relate to self-report reading…

Vadasy, Patricia F.; Sanders, Elizabeth A.; Cartwright, Kelly B. – Grantee Submission, 2022
The development of beginning decoding and encoding skills is influenced by linguistic skills as well as executive functions (EFs). These higher-level cognitive processes include working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility, and individual differences in these EFs have been shown to contribute to early academic learning. The present study…

Yeomans-Maldonado, Gloria; Mesa, Carol – Grantee Submission, 2021
Purpose: This study examines the extent to which the Home Literacy Environment (HLE) as measured by reading habits and resources, library use, and subscriptions or materials, as well as parental reading beliefs predict both language skills (i.e., vocabulary) at kindergarten and students' trajectories of growth from kindergarten (K) to grade 3…

Taboada Barber, Ana; Klauda, Susan Lutz; Stapleton, Laura – Grantee Submission, 2020
Previous studies offer mixed evidence regarding whether a unified model of reading comprehension predictors applies to Dual Language Learners (DLLs) and English Speakers (ESs), or whether distinctive models across language groups are empirically supported. The present study adds another dimension to this body of work by examining multiple reading…

Kim, Young-Suk Grace; Wolters, Alissa; Mercado, Janet; Quinn, Jamie – Grantee Submission, 2021
We investigated the dimensionality and relations between L1 (a speaker's first language) and L2 (a speaker's second language) writing skills in narrative and informational genres and higher order cognitive skills--inference, perspective taking, and comprehension monitoring--for Spanish-English dual language learners in primary grades. Dimensions…

McClelland, Megan M.; Gonzales, Christopher R.; Cameron, Claire E.; Geldhof, G. John; Bowles, Ryan P.; Nancarrow, Alexandra F.; Merculief, Alexis; Tracy, Alexis – Grantee Submission, 2021
The measurement of self-regulation in young children has been a topic of great interest as researchers and practitioners work to help ensure that children have the skills they need to succeed as they start school. The present study examined how a revised version of a commonly used measure of behavioral self-regulation, the…

Taboada Barber, Ana; Vizcaya-Jofré, Francisca; Klauda, Susan Lutz – Grantee Submission, 2021
Theory of Mind (ToM), as a relevant aspect in children's socio-cognitive development, has been widely studied. Some results have suggested that bilingual children have an advantage over their monolingual peers in development of ToM. However, there is less research regarding the predictive role of ToM in performance of oral and reading…

Moving Forward by Looking Back: Understanding Why Some Spanish-Speaking English Learners Fall Behind
Rojas, Raúl; Hiebert, Lindsey; Gusewski, Svenja; Francis, David J. – Grantee Submission, 2019
This study investigated early indicators of Spanish-speaking English learners (ELs) at risk for reading difficulties at the end of Grade 2 by examining their early bilingual oral language development, taking into account language of academic instruction. Standardized measures of reading and narrative samples were collected in English and Spanish…

Kim, Young-Suk Grace; Piper, Benjamin – Grantee Submission, 2019
The linguistic interdependence hypothesis (Cummins, 1979, 2000) states that children's second-language (L2) proficiency is, to some extent, a function of their first-language (L1) competence. Previous studies have examined this hypothesis with focus on a unidirectional relation from L1 to L2. In the present study, we examined…

Durán, Lillian K.; Wackerle-Hollman, Alisha K.; Kohlmeier, Theresa L.; Brunner, Stephanie K.; Palma, Jose; Callard, Chase H. – Grantee Submission, 2019
The population of Spanish-speaking preschoolers in the United States continues to increase and there is a significant need to develop psychometrically sound early language and literacy screening measures to accurately capture children's ability in Spanish. In this paper, we describe the innovative design and calibration process of the new…

Schmitt, Sara A.; Geldhof, G. John; Purpura, David J.; Duncan, Robert; McClelland, Megan M. – Grantee Submission, 2017
The present study explored the bidirectional and longitudinal associations between executive function (EF) and early academic skills (math and literacy) across four waves of measurement during the transition from preschool to kindergarten using two complementary analytical approaches: cross-lagged panel modeling and latent growth curve modeling…
