Yaling Li – International Education Studies, 2024
This study used a design experiment that instructs children on how to approach each letter to investigate typography design methodologies and manual techniques. Since children are still in the early stages of learning and the content they are exposed to is of great significance, the topic of children's education is always one that the entire…

Sarris, Menelaos – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
The present study examined the strategies used by Greek novice readers in the initial phases of reading acquisition. Fifty (50) children were assessed at four successive testing periods throughout 1st grade of Primary School. Thus, 21 boys (42%) and 29 girls (58%) participated in this study. Their mean age at the beginning of the study was 74.43…

Guan, Connie Qun; Fraundorf, Scott H.; Perfetti, Charles A. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2020
In light of the dramatic growth of Chinese learners worldwide and a need for a cross-linguistic research on Chinese literacy development, this study investigated (a) the effects of character properties (i.e., orthographic consistency and transparency) on character acquisition, and (b) the effects of individual learner differences (i.e.,…

Macdonald, Dianne; Luk, Gigi; Quintin, Eve-Marie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
A portion of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) exhibit a strength in early word reading referred to as hyperlexia (HPL), yet it remains unclear what mechanisms underlie this strength. Typically developing children (TD) acquire phonological awareness, alphabet knowledge and language skills as precursors to word reading. We compared these…

Ergül, Cevriye; Ökcün Akçamus, Meral Çilem; Akoglu, Gözde; Demir, Ergül; Tülü, Burcu Kiliç; Bahap Kudret, Zeynep – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
This study investigated endogenous and exogenous predictors of early literacy in Turkish-speaking children. Whether children's language and working memory performances (as the endogenous factors) and home literacy environment (as the exogenous factor) in the beginning of kindergarten predict the children's current and year-end early literacy…

Zoll, Susan; Feinberg, Natasha; Saylor, Laura – Teachers College Press, 2023
Teaching reading successfully requires deep knowledge of the reading process and development, as well as the implementation of impactful reading instruction and differentiation. This book aligns Montessori didactic materials and pedagogy, developed over a century ago, with current research on reading development. Readers will gain a solid overview…

Bergman Deitcher, Deborah; Aram, Dorit; Goldberg, Adva – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2021
This study examined the nature of parents' shared reading with their preschoolers between and across two different alphabet trade books. The "busy" book contains more sentences and words per page, more complex illustrations per page, and the target letter takes up less of the page and appears in the same colour as the text. The…

Zugarramurdi, Camila; Fernández, Lucía; Lallier, Marie; Valle-Lisboa, Juan Carlos; Carreiras, Manuel – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Reading acquisition is based on a set of preliteracy skills that lay the foundation for future reading abilities. Phonological awareness--the ability to identify and manipulate the sound units of oral language--has been reported to play a central role in reading acquisition. However, current evidence is mixed with respect to its universal…

Mendive, Susana; Mascareño Lara, Mayra; Aldoney, Daniela; Pérez, J. Carola; Pezoa, José P. – Child Development, 2020
This study used Latent Class Analysis to identify groups of children exposed to similar Home Language and Literacy Environments (HLLE) and explored whether belonging to a given HLLE group was related to children's language and early literacy growth from prekindergarten to kindergarten. Participants were 1,425 Chilean mothers and their children…

Çakiroglu, Ahmet – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2018
The purpose of this study is to examine the language acquisition approaches whose conceptions of language acquisitions are transferred to learning environments through adjustments made on the basis of application methods. The paper also discussed their similarities and differences. Different approaches to language acquisition in various…

Spencer-Ernandez, Joan; Edwards-Kerr, Deon – Early Child Development and Care, 2018
The purpose of this study was to identify the types of early reading tasks with which final year (5-6 year olds) Jamaican basic school children are struggling that place them at-risk for reading difficulties. A sample of 409 (224 females, 185 males) children in the final year of basic school were tested using measures of language development,…

Murdoch, Amy; Warburg, Rosanne; Corbo, Elizabeth; Strickler, Wendy – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2022
A key to reducing reading difficulty, particularly for children living in poverty, is to provide high quality, explicit, and well-planned instruction from the start of a child's school career. Preschools that provide quality language, literacy, and content instruction have produced promising positive effects on children's later academic…

Halitoglu, Vedat – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2020
Many people from Turkey emigrated to European countries as a result of the bilateral agreements signed between Turkey and related countries after the 1950s. The temporary travels to these countries left their place to permanent settlements, and the Turkish children living there were faced with the danger of alienation from their mother tongue and…

Hjetland, Hanne Naess; Lervåg, Arne; Lyster, Solveig-Alma Halaas; Hagtvet, Bente Eriksen; Hulme, Charles; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
The two major determinants of reading comprehension are language comprehension and decoding, but prior studies of the development of reading comprehension from an early age show inconsistent results. To clarify these inconsistencies we report a 6-year longitudinal study (starting at Age 4 years) where we control for measurement error and track the…

Segal, Aviva; Howe, Nina; Persram, Ryan J.; Martin-Chang, Sandra; Ross, Hildy – Reading Research Quarterly, 2018
Research on the home literacy environment has typically involved parents as teachers with little attention given to siblings' roles in teaching each other. This study examines naturalistic language and literacy teaching by 39 sibling dyads, at two timepoints, when children were ages 2 and 4 (time 1; T1) and again at ages 4 and 6 (time 2; T2). Each…
