Acculturation and Academics: Effects of Acculturation on Reading Achievement among Mexican-American Students.
Garcia-Vazquez, Enedina
Bilingual Research Journal, v19 n2 p305-15 Spr 1995
Measures of acculturation to the school environment and to student's own culture were administered to 23 Mexican American students in grades 7-9 in a rural midwestern town. Student reading achievement on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills was not related to scores on either measure of acculturation, but was related to level of English language proficiency. (SV)
