“…The SVR model has been widely tested in readers of English, a highly opaque orthography, but also in readers of intermediate orthographies (such as French, i.e., Massonnié et al, 2019;European Portuguese, i.e., Cadime et al, 2017;Santos et al, 2020; see also Sparks and Patton, 2016 for Spanish L2 learners and Buil-Legaz et al, 2016 for Spanish-Catalan bilingual children with language deficits) as well as more transparent alphabetic scripts such as Finnish (e.g., Torppa et al, 2016), Greek (e.g., Protopapas et al, 2012Protopapas et al, , 2013Kendeou et al, 2013) and Italian (e.g., Roch and Levorato, 2009;Tobia and Bonifacci, 2015). Evidence is also available for readers of some non-alphabetic writing systems, such as Chinese and Arabic (e.g., Joshi et al, 2012;Yeung et al, 2016;Asadi et al, 2017).…”
