There is good evidence that high-quality instruction targeting reading-related skills in the classroom leads to gains in reading. However, considerably less is known about the possible efficacy of "remote" instruction. This study evaluated the efficacy of an interactive evidence-based language-rich literacy programme. 184 children were…

Ifeoluwa A. Popoola; Janna Brown McClain; Emily A. Farris; Timothy N. Odegard – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Shifting demographics in K-12 schools have increased Spanish-speaking Multi-Language Learners' (MLLs') enrollment across the United States. While literacy variations between MLLs and proficient English speakers have been studied predominantly with upper elementary students, there remains a need for more exploration among early elementary…

Yucheng Cao; Young-Suk Grace Kim – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
The current study examined the relation between the amount of literacy instruction and student reading achievement (word reading and reading comprehension), using data from 927 students and their 189 teachers from Grades 1 to 3 in the US. Literacy instruction was observed once in the Fall and once in the Spring each year from two projects. We…

Li, Luan; Marinus, Eva; Castles, Anne; Wang, Hua-Chen – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
While research has established a close relationship between children's oral vocabulary and reading ability in Chinese, the nature of this relationship is not clear. This study aims to examine if vocabulary knowledge of Chinese words facilitates learning novel orthographic forms during independent reading. We also investigate whether such oral…

Junko Yamashita; Toshihiko Shiotsu; Kunihiro Kusanagi – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This longitudinal study investigated development of second language (L2) reading comprehension ability and predictive contributions of five L2 reading components (word recognition speed, listening comprehension, vocabulary breadth, grammar knowledge and first language [L1] reading comprehension) using latent growth curve modelling. The…

Zhang, Jie; Li, Hong; Liu, Yang; Chen, Yu – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
Two experiments investigated whether exposure to Chinese characters and pinyin would facilitate oral vocabulary learning for Chinese as a first (L1) and second (L2) language learners. In Experiment 1, 48 second Chinese graders studied 15 made-up associations between spoken labels and pictures accompanied either by no orthography, by pinyin, or…

Ju, Zhongkui; Zhou, Yanling; delMas, Robert – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
The present study aimed to examine the contributions of two separate Pinyin skills and oral vocabulary to Chinese word reading of 70 third graders in a U.S. Mandarin Immersion program where Pinyin was introduced at Grade 3. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that Pinyin initial-final spelling--the skill to spell Chinese syllables using Pinyin…

Hooper, Stephen R.; Costa, Lara-Jeane C.; Green, Melissa B.; Catlett, Stephanie R.; Barker, Alexandra; Fernandez, Edmund; Faldowski, Richard A. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
The purpose of this study was to investigate the concurrent relationships between selected teacher-rated executive function (EF) and a comprehensive array of emergent literacy skills in preschool children after adjusting for targeted covariates including at-risk status. The sample comprised 114 three-year-olds who were attending Head Start…

Gillon, Gail; McNeill, Brigid; Scott, Amy; Denston, Amanda; Wilson, Leanne; Carson, Karyn; Macfarlane, Angus Hikairo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
This study investigated the feasibility of a teacher implemented intervention to accelerate phonological awareness, letter, and vocabulary knowledge in 141 children (mean age 5 years, 4 months) who entered school with lower levels of oral language ability. The children attended schools in low socioeconomic communities where additional stress was…

Pham, Giang T.; Snow, Catherine E. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Measures of decoding and oral language have been shown to predict early reading comprehension across a wide variety of languages, though the timeframe and strength of the predictions vary by orthographic depth. This study is the first to examine predictors of early reading in Vietnamese, a transparent orthography of Romanized letters and…

Castillo, Cristina; Tolchinsky, Liliana – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
Building a text is a multidimensional endeavor. Writers must work simultaneously on the content of the text, its discursive organization, the structure of the sentences, and the individual words themselves. Knowledge of vocabulary is central to this endeavor. This study intends (1) to trace the development of writer's vocabulary depth, their…

Li, Hong; Zhang, Jie; Ehri, Linnea; Chen, Yu; Ruan, Xiaotong; Dong, Qiong – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2016
Previous research has shown that the presence of English word spellings facilitates children's oral vocabulary learning. Whether a similar orthographic facilitation effect may exist in Chinese is interesting but not intuitively obvious due to the character writing system representing morphosyllabic but not phoneme-size information, and the more…

Spencer, Mercedes; Kaschak, Michael P.; Jones, John L.; Lonigan, Christopher J. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2015
It has been demonstrated that statistical learning, or the ability to use statistical information to learn the structure of one's environment, plays a role in young children's acquisition of linguistic knowledge. Although most research on statistical learning has focused on language acquisition processes, such as the segmentation of words from…

Leider, Christine Montecillo; Proctor, C. Patrick; Silverman, Rebecca D.; Harring, Jeffrey R. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2013
Given the increase of bilingual students in the K-12 public school system, understanding reading comprehension performance, especially among this population, has been a major focal point in the research literature. This study explores the nature of reading comprehension among a sample of 123 Spanish-English bilingual elementary students. We add to…

Mackie, Clare J.; Dockrell, Julie; Lindsay, Geoff – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2013
In this study, we performed a fine grained analysis of writing by children with a specific language impairment (SLI) and examined the contribution of oral language, phonological short-term memory (STM), nonverbal ability, and word reading to three writing constructs (productivity, complexity and accuracy). Forty-six children with SLI were compared…
