Early Training in Oral Comprehension and Phonological Skills: Results of a Three-Year Longitudinal Study

Evidence-based practices to stimulate emergent literacy skills in kindergarten in France: A large-scale study

“…It seems that the best way to prevent these difficulties is to use multiple interventions using evidence-based literacy practices. Indeed, these have already shown their effectiveness on the specific skills which were trained (Bianco et al, 2010;Bower-Crane et al, 2008;Fricke et al, 2013;Justice et al, 2010;Lonigan et al, 2013). Our study confirms these results by additionally highlighting the fact that the interventions had the greatest effect in the children with the lowest scores.…”

“…Studies indicate that the effects of interventions are specific to these domains. For example, in a large sample of more than one thousand 4-year-old children monitored over a period of 3 years (Bianco et al, 2010), phonological training improved phonological awareness but not oral comprehension, while comprehension training improved oral comprehension but not phonological awareness. These results underline the independence of these two domains.…”

What Is Listening Comprehension and What Does It Take to Improve Listening Comprehension?

“…However, the CLI group performed significantly better than the control group with large effect sizes on the CELF-4 recalling sentences subtest ( d = 3.08) and the TNL narrative comprehension subtest ( d = 0.93). Bianco et al ( 2010 ) targeted multiple skills in their study. Their sample included 88 classrooms (in 88 different schools) and 1,273 4-year-old children in France.…”

Effets d’un entrainement perceptivo-moteur et aux orthographes approchées sur les compétences scripturales à 5 ans

“…Les recherches qui portent sur la dimension représentationnelle ont largement traité d'entrainements à la conscience phonologique (Ehri, Nunes, Willows, Schuster et Yaghoub-Zadeh, 2001;Bianco et al, 2010). Ces recherches ont maintenant un ancrage clair dans les pratiques de terrain.…”
