Peer reviewed

Hickey, Tina – Language, Culture and Curriculum, 1991

Study of the effect of supplying audio tapes to accompany leisure reading books in Irish found that the tapes considerably increased native-English-speaking elementary school students' motivation to read, facilitated comprehension, and increased the children's reading rate and pronunciation accuracy.

The Development of First and Second Language Reading Skills in Early French Immersion.

Peer reviewed

Geva, Esther; Clifton, Susan – Canadian Modern Language Review, 1994

Compared 20 good and poor readers in a second-grade French immersion program to 20 good and poor readers in regular English second-grade classes on various indexes of reading accuracy and speed. Found that English-only students achieved independent reading in greater numbers than French immersion students did in either French or English. (MDM)
