Bilingualism has been systematically associated with better self-regulatory skills (), however, this advantage does not seem to automatically transfer for most dual language learners. This suggests that there are other contextual factors that are necessary to trigger this advantage. This study examines the role of teacher-child interactions in the…

Mendelsohn, Alexandra; Suárez-Rivera, Catalina; Suh, Daniel D.; Tamis-LeMonda, Catherine S. – Language Learning and Development, 2023
Children learn math concepts long before they enter school. Across all cultures, children are exposed to number and spatial language to varying degrees during everyday home routines. Yet most studies of math talk occur in the lab and target non-Hispanic, English-speaking families. We expanded inquiry to the spontaneous math language (i.e., number…

Leyva, Diana; Yeomans-Maldonado, Gloria; Weiland, Christina; Shapiro, Anna; Leech, Kathryn; Pilot, Isabella; Wolf, Sophie – Journal of Literacy Research, 2023
Researchers largely rely on child language and literacy measures to determine the effectiveness of interventions for Latino dual language learners. However, some of these measures may miss certain strengths of these students. This study identified two unstandardized language and literacy tasks (IDELA food and animal vocabulary and personal…

Tulloch, Michelle K. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Learning to read is a fundamental skill that is understudied among children who hear more than one language at home. A particular limitation in the extant literature is that the samples are often Spanish-dominant and come from low-income households. This literature has evidence that Spanish skills -- both language-specific (i.e., vocabulary) and…

Paz Suárez-Coalla; Carmen Hevia-Tuero; Cristina Martínez-García; Olivia Afonso – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Spelling acquisition requires the assimilation of the regularities of the writing system, but these regularities may differ between the native and a foreign language. English spelling acquisition is a challenge for Spanish-speaking children due to differences in the orthographic systems. The aim of this study was to examine to what…

Grinstead, John; Padilla-Reyes, Ramón; Nieves-Rivera, Melissa – Language Learning and Development, 2021
A locus of the difference in meaning between distributive and collective sentences can be the quantifiers that modify their subjects. A current theoretical account of distributive and collective sentences claims that sentences with quantifiers such as "the" in English, or "los" in Spanish, in subject position and an indefinite…

The study examined 37 language samples of 37 Spanish-English kindergartners and first graders from a larger sample of the Multitudes Project in California. The focus was on investigating how these young English language learners produced narratives in English, what language elements they included, and whether these elements correlated or related…

Grimm, Ryan; Solari, Emily J.; Gerber, Michael M.; Nylund-Gibson, Karen; Swanson, H. Lee – Elementary School Journal, 2019
Research with English monolinguals has identified key subskills of reading comprehension that can differentiate subgroups of readers. There remains a dearth of research examining these subskills in Spanish-speaking bilingual students, and few studies have identified subgroups of readers whose home language is Spanish. This study used latent…

Isabel R. Rodríguez-Ortiz; Francisco J. Moreno-Pérez; David Saldaña – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2025
Difficulties in monitoring reading comprehension result in poor comprehension. One key aspect of monitoring is metacomprehension, which refers to one's awareness of one's own reading comprehension. Previous studies have observed difficulties in metacomprehension among the deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) population. This study aims to determine…

A deeper understanding of what factors influence metacognition has never become more pressing than in today's digital era, in which information flows constantly and quickly. To this end, the present study explored the role of culture in mediating how individuals experience metacognitive phenomena. For this purpose, the International Group on…

Goodrich, J. Marc; Lonigan, Christopher J. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2016
The lexical restructuring model (LRM) is a theory that attempts to explain the developmental origins of phonological awareness (PA). According to the LRM, various characteristics of words should be related to the extent to which words are segmentally represented in the lexicon. Segmental representations of words allow children to access the parts…

Simpson, Ian Craig; Moreno-Pérez, Francisco Javier; Rodríguez-Ortiz, Isabel de los Reyes; Valdés-Coronel, Marta; Saldaña, David – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
Reading comprehension is a complex task requiring many underlying skills. Syntactic awareness and morphological awareness are two such skills that have been shown to be related to reading comprehension. However, the majority of studies have been carried out in English, and very few have explored these skills in monolingual Spanish speaking…
