dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the cross- linguistic transfer of literacy skills in Spanish- English, Chinese- English bilingual, and English monolingual children (NÂ =Â 283, 5- 10Â years). Research question 1 examines English literacy and asks how phonological and morpho- semantic skills contribute to word reading as a function of children’s language background. Structural equation modeling revealed contrasting bilingual effects: compared to English monolinguals, Spanish- English bilinguals relied more on phonological awareness in word reading, whereas Chinese- English bilinguals relied more on lexical knowledge. Research question 2 examines relations between bilinguals- heritage language proficiency and English literacy. Results revealed direct and indirect effects of heritage language meta- linguistic skills on English word reading. The study yields implications for reading theories and instructional practices in optimizing literacy in linguistically diverse children. | |
