Sinead McNally; Kathryn A. Leech; Kathleen H. Corriveau; Michael Daly – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: This study investigated the effects of early shared reading and access to books on reading vocabulary in middle childhood and the pathways associated with later reading success. Method: Path analysis of data from four waves of a national longitudinal study of children (N = 7,751) was used to investigate direct and indirect effects of…

Joana Acha; Gorka Ibaibarriaga; Nuria Rodríguez; Manuel Perea – Journal of Literacy Research, 2024
Letter knowledge and word identification are key skills for reading and spelling. Letter knowledge facilitates the application of sublexical letter-sound mappings to decode words. With reading experience, word identification becomes a key lexical skill to support decoding. In transparent orthographies, however, letter knowledge might be an…

Annette Sundqvist; Nikola Majerle; Mikael Heimann; Felix-Sebastian Koch – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2024
A child's vocabulary ability may be influenced by many different factors in their home environment. The present study focused on supportive aspects in home environments and the relation to children's vocabulary size through an online study where 166 parents of children aged 47.63 months (range 33.7-59.9 months) responded. Children's home literacy…

Kristensen, Jarl K.; Andersson, Björn; Bratlie, Siri S.; Torkildsen, Janne V. K. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2023
This study aimed to determine the dimensionality of morphological knowledge by examining different sources of variance. According to the Morphological Pathways Framework ("Levesque et al., Journal of Research in Reading," 44, 10-26, 2021), morphological awareness, morphological analysis and morphological decoding are related, but…

Jean Ecalle; Xavier Thierry; Hélène Labat; Annie Magnan – First Language, 2024
A 7-year longitudinal study was conducted as part of the French national cohort ELFE (N = 1095). The aim was to identify how and why early language skills at 2 years might predict later literacy skills assessed successively at 5, 7, and 9 years (LitSk5y; 7y; 9y). Using one and the same model, we also examined the relations between literacy skills…

Jinger Pan; Catherine McBride; Joyce Lok Yin Kwan; Hua Shu – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
While it has been shown that socioeconomic status (SES) is important for children's literacy development in their first language (L1), less is known about its association with reading in a second language (L2). The present study examined the different effects of SES on the acquisition of reading in Chinese as L1 and English as L2 from ages 7 to…

María Orcasitas-Vicandi; Izaskun Molás-Olalde; Karla Fernández-de-Gamboa-Vázquez – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
This intervention study examined the writing abilities of 1st (ages 6-7) and 2nd (ages 7-8) grade students in the Basque Autonomous Community, utilising Basque, Spanish, and English. We compared two distinct teaching methodologies: the PYCTO methodology, which employs a multilingual approach for teaching writing across the three languages, and the…

Green, Clarence – Language and Education, 2023
This study evaluates the potential for incidentally learning early reading vocabulary through the extensive viewing (EV) of children's movies/television with subtitles. Recent research has investigated how much exposure to important vocabulary EV and extensive reading (ER) provides. Investigations compute the number of repetitions of target…

Lowe, Hilary; Henry, Lucy; Wallinger, Josephine; Joffe, Victoria – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2022
Children with language disorder frequently experience difficulties with vocabulary acquisition, and these difficulties often persist into adolescence. The literature indicates that clinical studies tend to investigate phonological-semantic approaches, whereas educational studies focus on the derivation of meaning within a literacy context. Little…

Bratlie, Siri Steffensen; Gustafsson, Jan-Eric; Torkildsen, Janne von Koss – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
Language-minority students constitute a heterogeneous group, both in terms of skills in the majority language and contextual factors, such as language use at home and socioeconomic status. These characteristics may interact with the effectiveness of language instruction programs. This study investigated whether the effectiveness of a digital…

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…

Booton, Sophie A.; Hodkiss, Alex; Mathers, Sandra; Murphy, Victoria A. – Journal of Child Language, 2022
Polysemy, or the property of words having multiple meanings, is a prevalent feature of vocabulary. In this study we validated a new measure of polysemy knowledge for children with English as an additional language (EAL) and a first language (EL1) and examined the relationship between polysemy knowledge and age, language status, and reading…

Susanna Siu-sze Yeung; Ronnel B. King; Shen Qiao – Language Awareness, 2025
Research has established the link between socioeconomic status (SES) and children's reading development. However, the theoretical mechanisms underlying the association between them have yet to be fully understood. Moreover, few previous studies exploring the mechanisms tapped both first language (L1) and second language (L2) at the same time. In…

Dave Yan – Australian Journal of Language and Literacy, 2021
Australian students exhibit consistent challenges in learning Chinese characters, which inherently affect their Chinese literacy development in the long run. This article outlines a pedagogic intervention, which focuses on improving character recognition and vocabulary growth for students learning Chinese as a second language (L2). With a multiple…

Janina Kahn-Horwitz; Zahava Goldstein – Language Testing, 2024
In order to inform English foreign language (EFL) diagnostic assessment of literacy, this study examined the extent to which 175 first-language Hebrew-speaking EFL young learners from fifth to tenth grade exhibited differences in single-letter grapheme recognition, sub-word, and word reading, and rapid automatized naming (RAN) of letters and…
