The Development of First and Second Language Reading Skills in Early French Immersion.
Geva, Esther; Clifton, Susan
Canadian Modern Language Review, v50 n4 p646-67 Jun 1994
Compared 20 good and poor readers in a second-grade French immersion program to 20 good and poor readers in regular English second-grade classes on various indexes of reading accuracy and speed. Found that English-only students achieved independent reading in greater numbers than French immersion students did in either French or English. (MDM)
