Academic Difficulties and Early Literacy Deprivation: The Case of Ethiopians in Israel.
Barkon, Elisheva; Avinor, Eleanor
Language, Culture and Curriculum, v8 n2 p201-09 1995
Investigates a possible link between academic difficulties and early literacy deprivation among the immigrant Ethiopian population in Israel. Findings suggest that such deprivation can affect the person after he becomes literate and multilingual and that literacy exposure in early childhood and first-language maintenance is important.
