Holly B. Lane; Valentina A. Contesse; Nicholas A. Gage; Matthew K. Burns – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
Research has demonstrated the positive effects of systematically teaching phonemic awareness and phonics in kindergarten and first grade, but many commonly used reading curricula do not adequately incorporate these foundational skills. In this study, we examined the efficacy of an instructional program ("UFLI Foundations") in…

Cassandra Potier Watkins; Stanislas Dehaene – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
We report the effectiveness of using the tablet-game Kalulu Phonics immediately after intervention in kindergarten and on national evaluations the year after. In a previous intervention testing the software with 1st graders, fluency and comprehension were boosted, but only when used in concert with reading instruction at the start of the year.…

Eric D. Hand; Christopher J. Lonigan; Cynthia S. Puranik – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Researchers have argued that writing skills have significant implications for developing reading skills. A growing body of research has provided evidence that writing skills, in particular invented spelling, provide unique predictive information regarding future reading skills. This study examined which preschool early writing skills (i.e., name…

Esra Ay Karaçuha; Ahmet Çebi – Turkish Journal of Education, 2024
The aim of this research is to reveal the effects of symbolic play content activities organized in kindergarten to first reading and writing skills. For this purpose, mixed-method research has been designed. In the first stage of this research, four experiments, including pretest-posttest applied, a paired experiment-control group, were applied.…

Gintautas Silinskas; Reda Gedutiene; Minna Torppa; Saule Raiziene – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: This longitudinal study investigated the simple view of reading (SVR) model and its cognitive basis in a transparent orthography of the Lithuanian across the transition from kindergarten to Grade 1. Method: The language and early literacy skills of 229 children (Mage = 6.79, SD = 0.47) were tested at the end of kindergarten (vocabulary,…

Schechter, Rachel L.; Lynch, Alicia D. – Online Submission, 2023
This study aims to measure the impact of 95 Percent Group's Phonological Awareness Lessons (PA Lessons), an intervention program designed primarily for Tier 2 or 3. The study is a replication of Schechter & Lynch (2023) research conducted in the same medium-sized school district, Val Verde Unified School District, in California during the…

Young Suk Kim; Yaacov Petscher – Grantee Submission, 2023
It is widely recognized that individuals with dyslexia have difficulties with word reading "and" spelling, and individuals with reading comprehension difficulties have low vocabulary knowledge. However, little is known about the extent to which spelling and vocabulary are informative of reading difficulties. In the present study, we…

Yvonne Messenger; Tiffany L. Gallagher – Journal of Teaching and Learning, 2024
Many kindergarten educators grapple with how best to teach reading in play-based kindergarten classrooms. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to ascertain the instructional strengths and needs of kindergarten educators as they teach reading in play-based programs. Fifteen kindergarten teachers participated in an online questionnaire and…

Christopher DeCamp; Sarah V. Alfonso; Christopher J. Lonigan – Grantee Submission, 2025
Objective: Executive Function (EF) is thought to be a core component of various cognitive processes. Two common ways to measure EF are through report-based measures that assess EF by collecting informant(s) reports on children's behaviors, and performance-based measures that assess EF through the completion of a task related to EF dimension(s).…

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…

Ibrahim A. Asadi; Abeer Asli-Badarneh; Raphiq Ibrahim; Hussein Hamzah – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study examined the differences in spoken Arabic (SpA) and standard Arabic (StA) in inflectional (gender, number, possessive pronouns, and tense) construction use in Arabic among preschoolers. Moreover, we tested the contribution of the inflectional constructions possessed in kindergarten to reading skills in the first grade and…

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…

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…
