Verwimp, Cara; Snellings, Patrick; Wiers, Reinout W.; Tijms, Jurgen – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Learning which letters correspond to which speech sounds is fundamental for learning to read. Based on previous experimental studies, we developed a serious game aiming to boost letter-speech sound (L-SS) correspondences in a motivational game environment. Objectives: The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of this game in…

Tracy Johnson; Emily Rodgers; Jerome V. D'Agostino – Reading Psychology, 2024
Current reading research largely focuses on word reading. This study complements that focus by considering what children do when encountering unknown words and how that problem-solving changes over time. We used overlapping wave theory to describe how children who were having difficulty with reading changed their word-solving actions across nine…

Su-Zhen Zhang; Tomohiro Inoue; Dianhai Zhang; Di Jin; George K. Georgiou – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: We examined whether the relations between home literacy environment (HLE), children's independent reading, and emergent literacy and reading skills are confounded by parents' reading skills (a genetic proxy). Method: One hundred eighty-nine Chinese children (M[subscript age] = 74.26 months, 40% female) were followed from kindergarten to…

Yang Dong; Bonnie Wing-Yin Chow; Jianhong Mo; Xuecong Miao; Hao-Yuan Zheng – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Dialogic reading (DR) is an effective shared reading technique based on the prompts-evaluate-expand-repeat (PEER) sequence, which fosters children's language development. This study examines the effects of its elements by comparing shared reading with prompts with minimal feedback (PMF) and PEER. Methods: This study included 364…

Kenji Kitamura; Dana Charles McCoy; Sharon Wolf – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2024
Children's approaches to learning (AtL) are widely recognized as a critical predictor of educational outcomes, especially in early childhood. Nevertheless, there remains a dearth of understanding regarding the dimensionality of AtL, the reciprocal dynamics between AtL and learning outcomes, and how AtL operates in non-Western contexts. This paper…
