Connor, Ulla
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v4 n4 p271-88 1983
A study of limited-English-speaking Vietnamese children (K-12) showed that the best predictors of reading performance were grade, Vietnamese language background, amount of English spoken at home, higher level paternal occupation, and ESL class participation. Predictors not found significant included gender, siblings, television viewing, library visits, and other parent characteristics. (MSE)
