Anabela Anabela Malpique; Mustafa Asil; Deborah Pino-Pasternak; Susan Ledger; Timothy Teo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Digital tools are an integral part of most writing communities across the globe, enhancing the criticality of gaining a comprehensive understanding of both paper and computer-based writing acquisition and development. The relationships between transcription skills and children's paper-based writing performance are well documented. Less is known…

Haibo Zhang; Rui Chen; Jing Lu; Jiali Wang; Yuanyuan Li; Sha Tao – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
This study investigated the unique role of nonverbal reasoning in early English word decoding for native Chinese-speaking children across three studies. In Study 1, 80 Grade 1 and 2 participants completed assessments including nonverbal reasoning tests, English pseudoword reading, Chinese character reading, Chinese phonological awareness (CPA),…

Hasenäcker, Jana; Schroeder, Sascha – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Reading a word requires several component processes. The dual route cascaded (DRC) model provides a characterization of these component processes and their involvement in different reading routes. We tested how relevant precursor skills associated with these component processes predict the use of the sublexical and lexical route in beginning…

Dolean, Dacian Dorin; Lervåg, Arne; Visu-Petra, Laura; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
The simple view of reading proposes that the development of reading comprehension in early elementary school is best predicted by children's fluent decoding and oral language skills. Recent studies challenge this view and suggest that executive functions should also be included in this theoretical model; however, the empirical evidence is not…

Ye, Yanyan; Pan, Dora Jue; McBride, Catherine – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Cross-language transfer happens in bilingual reading development. However, little is known about whether L1 affects L2 spelling development. In addition, longitudinal studies are needed to examine the L1-L2 relations developmentally from the beginning of literacy learning. We tested whether and which Chinese (L1) literacy-related skill(s) in…

Chung, Sheila Cira; Koh, PohWee; Chen, Xi; Deacon, S. Hélène – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Orthographic knowledge is predicted to be central in the process of children's reading development. We examined both the temporal order between orthographic knowledge and each of word reading and word spelling--effectively, which predicts which by including autoregressive controls--and cross-linguistic transfer between English and French for our…

Baoqi Sun; Beth Ann O'Brien – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
This study examines the intricate relationships between home language use, oral language skills (phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and receptive vocabulary), and literacy skills (word reading and spelling) in English and Chinese among young bilinguals. The sample includes 249 first-grade and 263 third-grade bilingual students in…

Lepola, Janne; Kajamies, Anu; Laakkonen, Eero; Niemi, Pekka – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
This is a study of early picture book comprehension, its determinants and later development through primary school. More specifically, picture book comprehension was analyzed longitudinally from age 5 to age 9, delineating the unique contributions of vocabulary, metacognitive knowledge and task orientation to the initial level as well as to the…

Esmaeeli, Zahra; Kyle, Fiona E.; Lundetrae, Kjersti – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
It is well established that emergent literacy is a strong predictor of later reading difficulties, and that the "home literacy environment" plays an important role in the development of children's preschool emergent literacy and oral language. Furthermore, reading difficulties runs in families and children with a family risk of reading…

Yang, Xiujie; McBride, Catherine; Ho, Connie Suk-Han; Chung, Kevin Kien Hoa – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
This 13-month longitudinal study investigated whether different phonological processing components independently predicted individual differences in Chinese word reading and arithmetic. Three phonological processing skills [phonological awareness, phonological memory, and rapid automatized naming (RAN)], word reading, and arithmetic were assessed…

Ron; Jiang, H.; Farquharson, K. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
We investigated the extent to which working memory and behavioral attention predicted reading and listening comprehension in grades 1 through 3 and, whether their relative contributions differed by modality and grade. Separate grade samples (N = 370; ns = 125, 123, and 122 for grades 1, 2, and 3 respectively) completed multiple measures of word…

de Bree, Elise; van den Boer, Madelon – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
Although research on cognitive correlates of spelling has been conducted, these studies generally do not distinguish between different types of targets that need to be spelled. Arguably, the contributions of these skills differ for words opposed to pseudowords and for targets that can be spelled on the basis of phoneme-to-grapheme conversion…

Zhang, Su-Zhen; Inoue, Tomohiro; Shu, Hua; Georgiou, George K. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
Although several studies have examined the role of home literacy environment (HLE) in learning to read in Western societies, little is known about the role of HLE in Chinese reading. In addition, the few studies in Chinese have not tested the possible effects of HLE on reading comprehension. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the…

Desrochers, Alain; Manolitsis, George; Gaudreau, Patrick; Georgiou, George – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
In the present study, we examined the role of morphological awareness in reading and spelling performance across three languages varying in orthographic consistency (English, French, and Greek), after controlling for the effects of phonological awareness and rapid automatized naming (RAN). One hundred fifty-nine English-speaking Canadian, 238…

Lam, Katie; Chen, Xi – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
The purpose of the current study was to explore longitudinally the bidirectional cross-language effects between morphological awareness and vocabulary development across English and French over one year. Participants included 81 Grade 1 students and 75 Grade 2 students. All were non-native speakers of French, and demonstrated average English word…
