Longitudinal predictors of French word reading difficulties among French Immersion children

Reading and writing difficulties in bilingual learners

“…The first four articles included in this special issue investigated the interconnections of oral language, executive functioning, and reading among Kindergarten to first-grade Spanish-English bilinguals in the U.S. (Goodrich et al, 2023;Relyea et al, 2023) and the stability of reading difficulty classification of first to third grade French-English bilinguals in French immersion schools in Canada (Shakory et al, 2023;MacKay et al, 2023). The next three articles (Cheah et al, 2023;Li et al, 2023;Álvarez-Cañizo et al, 2023) explored spelling and writing difficulties in Chinese-English bilingual children in Hong Kong and mainland China, and in Spanish-English dyslexic children in Spain.…”
