Meir, Natalia – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Large individual differences in language skills are well documented in monolingual children (e.g., Kidd, Donnelly & Christiansen, 2018). In bilinguals, the broad variation is even more pronounced. Interestingly, some bilingual children might be weak in their Heritage Language (HL, also labeled as Minority Language, Home Language, Community…

Masters, Allyson Strmiska; Scott, Molly E.; Wright, Charlotte A.; Spiewak Toub, Tamara; Dickinson, David K.; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Reading Teacher, 2023
Shared book reading is a common and effective way to support vocabulary knowledge. However, it is not the only pedagogy for supporting this learning goal. We propose a "toolbox" of activities that teachers can use to foster vocabulary acquisition in young children. We first discuss the science behind why these activities are effective…

Naples, Adam; Tenenbaum, Elena J.; Jones, Richard N.; Righi, Giulia; Sheinkopf, Stephen J.; Eigsti, Inge-Marie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Approximately 30% of autistic children are considered minimally verbal. The field lacks an efficient and reliable measure of communicative capacity among minimally verbal autistic children. Improved methods are needed to determine which children are at greatest risk for minimally verbal outcomes to better target interventions. Here, we present the…
