Early General Knowledge Predicts English Reading Growth in Bilingual and Monolingual Students throughout the Elementary Years
This study investigated the role of early general knowledge in English reading growth of bilingual and monolingual students in the elementary years by using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class data set. The analyses of latent growth models showed that the estimated gap in English reading between students who started school with higher general knowledge and students who started school with lower general knowledge increased throughout the elementary years in both language groups. Early general knowledge consistently predicted English reading growth in the subsample of bilingual students even after accounting for early decoding skills and English proficiency. The findings on the role of early general knowledge in English reading growth are discussed in relation to research and practice.
期刊介绍:
The Elementary School Journal has served researchers, teacher educators, and practitioners in the elementary and middle school education for over one hundred years. ESJ publishes peer-reviewed articles dealing with both education theory and research and their implications for teaching practice. In addition, ESJ presents articles that relate the latest research in child development, cognitive psychology, and sociology to school learning and teaching. ESJ prefers to publish original studies that contain data about school and classroom processes in elementary or middle schools while occasionally publishing integrative research reviews and in-depth conceptual analyses of schooling.
