Danielle L. Pico; Christine Woods – Review of Educational Research, 2023
It is expected that all students in the United States learn to read English well.

Although several syntheses have documented the positive effects of shared book reading (SBR) in school…

Kartushina, Natalia; Frauenfelder, Ulrich H.; Golestani, Narly – Language Learning, 2016
In bilinguals and second language learners, the native (L1) and nonnative (L2) languages coexist and interact. The L1 influences L2 production via forward transfer, as is seen with foreign accents. However, language transfer is bidirectional: even brief experience with an L2 can affect L1 production, via backward transfer. Here, we review the…
