Abstract

Today, many children worldwide grow up in bilingual or multilingual families. This study explores early literacy development in Russian–Hebrew bilingual families in Israel. It studies the contribution of the home literacy environment (HLE), the language of communication, and the nature of the maternal writing support in Hebrew and Russian, to children's early literacy skills in the two languages. Participants were 61 Israeli children (4–6 years old) and their mothers. The mothers completed questionnaires about home literacy activities in both languages and were videotaped while supporting their child in writing a list of eight words in Hebrew and Russian. Children's early literacy skills (phonological awareness, letter knowledge, and word recognition) were assessed in both languages. Results showed that mothers adjusted their writing support not only to the child's skills but also to the particular orthography. The HLE and aspects of mothers' writing support predicted their children's early literacy skills, not only within each language but also in cross‐language models. The literacy activities provided at home and the nature of mothers' support seem to link to the children's literacy outcomes. The results stress the importance of parents' explicit efforts to support children's early literacy skills in both heritage and societal languages.
希伯来语-俄语双语儿童的早期识字能力:家庭识字环境和母亲写作支持的作用
如今,全世界有许多儿童在双语或多语家庭中成长。本研究探讨了以色列俄语和希伯来语双语家庭中儿童早期识字能力的发展。它研究了家庭识字环境(HLE)、交流语言以及母亲用希伯来语和俄语书写支持的性质对儿童早期两种语言识字能力的贡献。研究对象是 61 名以色列儿童(4-6 岁)及其母亲。母亲们填写了有关两种语言家庭识字活动的调查问卷,并在支持孩子用希伯来语和俄语书写一份包含八个单词的列表时进行了录像。用两种语言对儿童的早期识字能力(语音意识、字母知识和认字能力)进行了评估。结果显示,母亲们不仅会根据孩子的技能,还会根据特定的正字法调整她们的书写支持。母亲的书写支持对孩子早期识字能力的影响不仅体现在每种语言中,还体现在跨语言模型中。家中提供的识字活动和母亲支持的性质似乎与儿童的识字成果有关。研究结果强调了父母明确努力支持儿童早期识字能力的重要性,无论是传统语言还是社会语言。
