Callula Killingly; Linda J. Graham; Haley Tancredi; Pamela Snow – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Reading comprehension is contingent on both oral language comprehension and word-level reading ability, skills that are thought to be intrinsically related in the early school years. However, while previous studies examining bidirectional relationships among oral vocabulary and reading development have generally found an association between word…

Valentina Persici; Tamara Bastianello; Erika Hoff; Marinella Majorano – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2025
The role of children's receptive vocabulary knowledge in word and nonword reading (decoding) in an orthographically transparent language is debated. Moreover, we have little understanding of how the role of vocabulary might differ between monolingual children and bilingual children from immigrant families (or language minority bilingual children…

Cinar, Eda; Fitzpatrick, Caroline; Almeida, Maíra Lopes; Camden, Chantal; Garon-Carrier, Gabrielle – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2023
This study investigated the contribution of fine and gross motor skills to academic and attentional performance at school entry among 832 boys and girls. Children were tested on their fine and gross motor skills (locomotor, object control) and their academic performance in receptive vocabulary, number knowledge, and attentional skills at 6 to 7…

Bell, Nicola; Wheldall, Kevin – Australian Journal of Education, 2022
The present study was conducted to explore how the relationships between reading comprehension constructs change according to word reading accuracy, as measured in a large convenience sample (n = 857) of school-aged students (Years 3-6) with reading difficulties. Multiple regression analyses containing interaction variables were conducted, to…

Adriana Soto-Corominas; Marta Segura; Helena Roquet; Noelia Navarro; Yagmur Elif Met – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2025
Research on the effects of bilingualism on third language (L3) development set in bilingual communities is scarce, outdated, and has provided mixed results. This study investigated the effects of exposure and age of onset of acquisition (AOA) of L3-English, as well as first and second language (L1/L2) skills and use, in the development of…

Apel, Kenn; Henbest, Victoria S. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: Morphological awareness is the ability to consciously manipulate the smallest units of meaning in language. Morphological awareness contributes to success with literacy skills for children with typical language and those with language impairment. However, little research has focused on the morphological awareness skills of children with…

Dicataldo, Raffaele; Moscardino, Ughetta; Mammarella, Irene Cristina; Roch, Maja – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Listening narrative comprehension is a complex process that requires the processing of explicit (i.e., information presented in the text) and implicit information (i.e., information inferable from the text) and involves several linguistic and cognitive skills. However, the specific role of these skills in children's comprehension remains unclear.…

Oh, Min Hyun; Mancilla-Martinez, Jeannette – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: Despite the unprecedented growth of Spanish-English dual language learners (DLLs) in new destination states--where DLLs have not been historically served--empirical understanding of their language and literacy skills is scant. Drawing on scientific understandings of bilingual language acquisition, we compare monolingually scored and…

Canadian students enrolled in either French-immersion or English-instruction programs were followed from Grades 2 to 3 (M[subscript age] = 7.8 years to 8.9 years; N = 244; 55% girls). In each grade, students completed two mathematical tasks that required oral language processing (i.e., word-problem solving and number transcoding from dictation)…

Rothou, Kyriakoula M. – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2021
The study explored the inflectional morphological awareness of Greek-speaking poor comprehenders identified in grade 3. The sample consisted of 13 poor comprehenders and 27 good comprehenders. The poor comprehenders were selected from 126 children attended 19 primary schools in metropolitan area of Athens using a cut-off-based approach. All the…

Chen, Yi-Jui I.; Chen, Yi-Hsin; Anthony, Jason L.; Erazo, Noé A. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2022
The Computer-based Orthographic Processing Assessment (COPA) is a newly developed assessment to measure orthographic processing skills, including rapid perception, access, differentiation, correction, and arrangement. In this study, cognitive diagnostic models were used to test if the dimensionality of the COPA conforms to theoretical expectation,…

Bastianello, Tamara; Brondino, Margherita; Persici, Valentina; Majorano, Marinella – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
The present contribution aims at presenting an assessment tool (i.e., the TALK-assessment) built to evaluate the language development and school readiness of Italian preschoolers before they enter primary school, and its predictive validity for the children's reading and writing skills at the end of the first year of primary school. The early…

Obeid, Rita; DeNigris, Danielle; Brooks, Patricia J. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Motor skills have been linked to language and social development with implications for theory of mind. This study examined theory of mind (attribution of intentions task) in school-age children (N = 62, mean age 8 years; 2 months, standard deviation [SD] = 1;3) in relation to fine motor skills (grooved pegboard), receptive vocabulary (Peabody…

Goriot, Claire; van Hout, Roeland; Broersma, Mirjam; Lobo, Vanessa; McQueen, James M.; Unsworth, Sharon – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
This study investigated to what extent the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-4) is a reliable tool for measuring vocabulary knowledge of English as a second language (L2), and to what extent L1 characteristics affect test outcomes. The PPVT-4 was administered to Dutch pupils in six different age groups (4-15 years old) who were or were not…

This research analyzes data collected by the Young Lives project on childhood poverty. It addresses the effect of socio-demographic, individual, and linguistic variables -- focusing on the latter -- on reading comprehension in Spanish by 502 Peruvian Quechua-Spanish bilingual children aged 8 years. The regression model tested explained 46% of the…
