Centanni, Tracy M.; Norton, Elizabeth S.; Park, Anne; Beach, Sara D.; Halverson, Kelly; Ozernov-Palchik, Ola; Gaab, Nadine; Gabrieli, John D.E. – Developmental Science, 2018
A functional region of left fusiform gyrus termed "the visual word form area" (VWFA) develops during reading acquisition to respond more strongly to printed words than to other visual stimuli. Here, we examined responses to letters among 5- and 6-year-old early kindergarten children (N = 48) with little or no school-based reading…

Piasta, Shayne B.; Groom, Leiah J.; Khan, Kiren S.; Skibbe, Lori E.; Bowles, Ryan P. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Narrative skill is included in emergent literacy frameworks and believed to be important for children's early reading development. Yet, empirical evidence concerning associations with other emergent literacy skills and later word reading skills is limited. We comprehensively assessed the emergent literacy skills of 3- to 5.5-year old children (n =…

Borovsky, Arielle; Ellis, Erica M.; Evans, Julia L.; Elman, Jeffrey L. – Developmental Science, 2016
Recent research suggests that infants tend to add words to their vocabulary that are semantically related to other known words, though it is not clear why this pattern emerges. In this paper, we explore whether infants leverage their existing vocabulary and semantic knowledge when interpreting novel label-object mappings in real time. We initially…

Boutsen, Frank R.; Dvorak, Justin D.; Deweber, Derick D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the influence of word properties on gated single-word recognition in monolingual and bilingual individuals under conditions of native and nonnative accent and to determine whether word-form prosody facilitates recognition in bilingual individuals. Method: Word recognition was assessed in monolingual and…

Singh, Leher; Tan, Aloysia; Wewalaarachchi, Thilanga D. – Journal of Child Language, 2017
Children undergo gradual progression in their ability to differentiate correct and incorrect pronunciations of words, a process that is crucial to establishing a native vocabulary. For the most part, the development of mature phonological representations has been researched by investigating children's sensitivity to consonant and vowel variation,…

Rasinski, Timothy V.; Yates, Randy; Foerg, Kelly; Greene, Kelly; Paige, David; Young, Chase; Rupley, William – Education Sciences, 2020
The present exploratory study examined the effect of the implementation of a reading fluency instruction protocol on the reading performance of early first grade students in an urban school. Previous research has tended to examine the effects of fluency instruction after students have achieved some degree of competency in word recognition, usually…

Hadley, Elizabeth Burke; Dickinson, David K. – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2020
The importance of early vocabulary development to later reading comprehension has been well-established. However, there have been a number of criticisms that the assessments typically used to measure oral vocabulary knowledge do not adequately capture the complexity of this construct. This conceptual review works towards a more robust theoretical…

Steacy, Laura M.; Fuchs, Douglas; Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Kearns, Devin M.; Elleman, Amy M.; Edwards, Ashley A. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine word learning efficiency in at-risk first grade students (N = 93) participating in a yearlong study evaluating a multicomponent intervention targeting word reading and decoding skills. As part of each intervention lesson, students participated in a 1 to 3-min sight word reading activity in which…

García-Gámez, Ana B.; Macizo, Pedro – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
We compared 2 learning methods for the acquisition of vocabulary in a second language (L2). In addition, the use of the new L2 words was evaluated both in isolation and within sentences. In the semantic method, L2 words and pictures denoting their meanings were presented and participants learned by practicing a semantic categorization task (to…

Clayton, Francina J.; West, Gillian; Sears, Claire; Hulme, Charles; Lervåg, Arne – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2020
It is now widely accepted that phonological language skills are a critical foundation for learning to read (decode). This longitudinal study investigated the predictive relationship between a range of key phonological language skills and early reading development in a sample of 191 children in their first year at school. The study also explored…

Vadasy, Patricia F.; Sanders, Elizabeth A. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Two experiments explored rates for introducing grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) and the types of correspondences taught for optimal alphabet and early literacy skills learning. In both studies, children entered with minimal alphabet knowledge and were randomly assigned within classrooms to one of two treatments delivered individually over…

Philip Capin; Jeremy Miciak; Bethany H. Bhat; Greg Roberts; Paul K. Steinle; Jack Fletcher; Sharon Vaughn – Remedial and Special Education, 2024
This U.S. study evaluated the effects of a reading intervention for emergent bilingual students with significant reading difficulties in Grades 6 and 7 within a multisite randomized controlled trial. Emergent bilinguals were randomized to a researcher-provided intervention (n = 171) or business-as-usual comparison condition (n = 169). Results on a…

Sun, Jing; Pae, Hye K.; Ai, Haiyang – Foreign Language Annals, 2021
Learners of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) tend to swap the two characters within a coordinative compound word in verbal identification and written production. This mixed methods study not only investigated how CFL learners identified intercharacter orthographic and semantic relationships within two-morpheme coordinative compound words, but…

Paquette-Smith, Melissa; Cooper, Angela; Johnson, Elizabeth K. – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Infants struggle to understand familiar words spoken in unfamiliar accents. Here, we examine whether accent exposure facilitates accent-specific adaptation. Two types of pre-exposure were examined: video-based (i.e., listening to pre-recorded stories; Experiment 1) and live interaction (reading books with an experimenter; Experiments 2 and 3).…

Gogolin, Ingrid; Schnoor, Birger; Usanova, Irina – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2021
Throughout an educational career, literacy skills become more elaborated. However, little is known about the development of reading and writing skills in foreign languages in adolescents. In this contribution, we focused on the development of language skills in the foreign languages English and French in Germany as measured by a C-Test. Hereby, we…
