The role of vocabulary depth in predicting reading comprehension among English monolingual and Spanish–English bilingual children in elementary school (2012, background): “Some research has found a relationship between syntactic awareness and reading comprehension ( Mokhtari & Thompson, 2006; Nation & Snowling, 2000), and this study adds to that literature.”
Using Translation to Drive Conceptual Development for Students Becoming Literate in English as an Additional Language (2015, background): “…researchers and second-language researchers describe as influential in terms of reading comprehension, particularly with respect to the importance of metalinguistic awareness (August & Shanahan, 2006; Bialystok & Barac, 2012; Mokhtari & Thompson, 2006; Nagy, 2007; Zipke, Ehri, & Cairns, 2009).”
Core academic language skills: An expanded operational construct and a novel instrument to chart school-relevant language proficiency in preadolescent and adolescent learners (2014, background): “…(e.g., knowledge of connectives and syntactic or morphological knowledge) already support the relevance of looking at cross-disciplinary language skills as important contributors to reading comprehension (Crosson, Lesaux, & Martiniello, 2008; Kieffer & Lesaux, 2008; Mokhtari & Thompson, 2006).”
Relations Among the Frequency of Shared Reading and 4-Year-Old Children's Vocabulary, Morphological and Syntax Comprehension, and Narrative Skills (2008, background): “Such elements include the use of inflections to identify past or present tense and an emphasis on the order of words in a sentence to enhance comprehension of the text ( Mokhtari & Thompson, 2006 ).”
Roles of morphological awareness in the reading comprehension of Spanish-speaking language minority learners: Exploring partial mediation by vocabulary and reading fluency (2012, background): “…studies have investigated the range of linguistic abilities that compose and predict fluent reading (e.g., Barth, Catts, & Anthony, 2009; Berninger et al., 2010; Katzir et al., 2006; Klauda & Guthrie, 2008; Levasseur, Macaruso, Palumbo, & Shankweiler, 2006; Mokhtari & Thompson, 2006; Wood, 2009).”
Going Beyond the Fab Five: Helping Students Cope With the Unique Linguistic Challenges of Expository Reading in Intermediate Grades (2008, background): “…and struggling readers, can conduct syntactic anatomy in order to identify relations among different clauses in the sentence, as research (e.g., Mokhtari & Thompson, 2006; Scott, 2004) has suggested that syntactic skills are significantly related to J O U R N A L O F A D O L E S C E N T & A D…”
Beyond Vocabulary: Exploring Cross-Disciplinary Academic-Language Proficiency and Its Association With Reading Comprehension (2015, background): “Some evidence suggests that later syntactic skills positively contribute to reading comprehension in children, adolescents, and adults (e.g., Mokhtari & Thompson, 2006; Nation & Snowling, 2000; Taylor, Greenberg, Laures-Gore, & Wise, 2011).”
