Ruby-Rose McDonald; Elizabeth Schaughency; Kaitlin Boddie; Tracy A. Cameron; Jane L. D. Carroll – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Early literacy and writing development are inter-related, yet predictors of beginning writing are less well studied than beginning reading. This study investigated contributions of school-entry name-writing to writing skills after 1 and 2 years of school in New Zealand above and beyond school-entry oral language and early literacy skills.…

Maureen, Irena Y.; van der Meij, Hans; de Jong, Ton – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
This study reports on the effectiveness of an organised set of storytelling activities that aimed to enhance early literacy development. There were three conditions in the study. In the control condition, regular literacy development activities took place. In one experimental condition, the set of activities included oral storytelling. In the…

Håberg, Liv Ingrid Aske – Global Education Review, 2022
In the Scandinavian tradition, "how" children learn is of much greater importance than "what" children. However, this study seeks primarily to investigate "what to learn" as opposed to "how to learn." The matter of what topics are most valued is under-researched, particularly in regard to kindergarten…

Riordan, Jessica; Reese, Elaine; Das, Shika; Carroll, Jane; Schaughency, Elizabeth – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
"Tender Shoots" compared two book-reading and conversation approaches for parents and preschoolers to an activity-based control group. The "Rich Reading and Reminiscing" (RRR) condition taught parents to converse about the storyline; the "Strengthening Sound Sensitivity" (SSS) condition taught parents to converse…

Piasta, Shayne B.; Park, Somin; Farley, Kristin S.; Justice, Laura M.; O'Connell, Ann A. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Educators' language and literacy knowledge is considered important for informing classroom practices and thereby supporting children's early language and literacy development. This includes both disciplinary content knowledge (knowledge concerning how oral and written language are structured and map to one another) and knowledge for practice…

Pratt, Amy S.; Grinstead, John A.; McCauley, Rebecca J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This exploratory study describes the emergent literacy skills of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) who speak Spanish, a language with a simple phonological structure and transparent orthography. We examine differences between children with DLD and their typically developing (TD) peers on a battery of emergent literacy…

Erickson, Joy Dangora; Wharton-McDonald, Ruth – Reading Teacher, 2019
The authors emphasize the importance of cultivating autonomous motivation for literacy in early childhood by supporting students' basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness while building foundational skills. Additionally, the authors highlight four key findings specific to early childhood (pre-K-2) literacy development:…

Neha, Tia; Reese, Elaine; Schaughency, Elizabeth; Taumoepeau, Mele – Developmental Psychology, 2020
The home-learning environment (HLE) is critical for young children's early learning skills, yet little research has focused on HLEs in indigenous communities. This study examined the role of the HLE of 41 whanau (New Zealand Maori families and community) in relation to their young children's (M = 4 years, 4 months) early learning skills. Parents…

Meyer, J. Patrick; Invernizzi, Marcia A.; Ford, Karen L. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2019
We used multidimensional item response theory to test the internal structure of the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening in Spanish for Preschool and test for item parameter drift. The measure is aligned with the simple view of reading, which defines reading as consisting of two equally important dimensions: decoding and language…

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…

Hjetland, Hanne Næss; Brinchmann, Ellen Irén; Scherer, Ronny; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Campbell Collaboration, 2017
Knowledge about preschool predictors of later reading comprehension is valuable for several reasons. On a general level, longitudinal studies can aid in generating understanding and causal hypotheses about language and literacy development, both of which are crucial processes in child development. A better understanding of these developmental…

Terrell, Pamela; Watson, Maggie – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: As part of this clinical forum on curriculum-based intervention, the goal of this tutorial is to share research about the importance of language and literacy foundations in natural environments during emergent literacy skill development, from infancy through preschool. Following an overview of intervention models in schools by Powell…

Hofslundsengen, Hilde; Gustafsson, Jan-Eric; Hagtvet, Bente Eriksen – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2019
This study aimed to enhance our knowledge of the constituent variables affecting invented writing skills in 5-year-olds by investigating the concurrent relationships among home literacy, underlying language skills, and invented writing. The study comprised 111 Norwegian-speaking children (mean age: 5.7 years; 58 girls) and their parents. The…

Harmey, Sinéad; D'Agostino, Jerome; Rodgers, Emily – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2019
The purpose of this paper is (1) to report on the design of the early writing observational writing rubric designed to observe and describe change over time in the writing of children emerging into conventional literacy (ages 6-7) within an instructional setting and (2) to investigate the initial reliability and validity of the rubric. We used an…

Heppner, Denise H. – Language and Education, 2016
The focus of this research was on examining a play-based, child-centered instructional technique known as story telling/story acting (ST/SA) within a Canadian preschool setting. The goal was to examine the changes that occurred in the narrative features of preschool children's stories, and to investigate whether ST/SA fostered emerging literacy…
