Developmental changes in the nature of language proficiency and reading fluency paint a more complex view of reading comprehension in ELL and EL1 (2012, background): “Support for the fact that language skills are essential for text reading fluency comes also from a small number of studies involving Spanish speaking ELLs (e.g., Al Otaiba, Petscher, Pappamihiel, Williams, Drylund, & Connor 2009; Crosson & Lesaux, 2010; Nakamoto, Lindsey, & Manis, 2007 ), and studi”
Growth and predictors of change in English language learners' reading comprehension (2013, background): “…school (Catts, Bridges, Little & Tomblin, 2008; Parrila, Aunola, Leskinen, Nurmi & Kirby, 2005), and two published studies modelled patterns of growth in reading comprehension of upper elementary ELLs (Mancilla-Martinez, Kieffer, Biancarosa, Christodoulou & Snow, 2011; Nakamoto et al., 2007).”
The Role of Oral Language Skills in Reading and Listening Comprehension of Text: A Comparison of Monolingual (L1) and Bilingual (L2) Speakers of English Language. (2014, methodology): “…and speed, L2 learners tend to underperform on the measures of text comprehension, vocabulary and morphosyntactic skills (e.g., Burgoyne et al., 2009, 2010; Droop & Verhoeven, 2003; Frederickson & Frith, 1998; Geva & Farnia, 2011; Hutchinson et al., 2003; Nakamoto et al., 2007; Stuart, 2004).”
Investigating English reading comprehension growth in adolescent language minority learners: some insights from the simple view (2011, background): “plateau during the middle school years (Author, 2008; Nakamoto et al., 2007), it is possible that LM learners’ linguistic comprehension and word reading skills may influence not only levels but also rates of growth in reading comprehension.”
Converging Trajectories (2011, background): “This finding is consistent with studies that have compared LM learners’ reading comprehension in the upper elementary grades to national norms on standardized tests (e.g., Mancilla-Martinez & Lesaux, 2010; Nakamoto et al., 2007), while extending this finding through the end of the middle grades.”
