Overview

Longitudinal study shows connections between phonological and morphological awareness, indicating impacts on literacy performance in dual-language learners.

Key Points

  • Phonological awareness in both languages predicts literacy skill, emphasizing its role in spelling accuracy.
  • Spanish phonological awareness in kindergarten significantly forecasts English morphological awareness in second grade.
  • Linguistic skills in early education can be leveraged to improve literacy outcomes, highlighting their importance.
  • Identifying at-risk students through phonological assessments can enhance educational strategies for dual-language learners.
