Gholamain, Mitra; Geva, Esther
Language Learning, v49 n2 p183-217 Jun 1999
Examined two hypotheses regarding reading skill development--the script-dependent hypothesis and the central processing hypothesis--by studying the linguistic, cognitive, and basic reading skills of 70 children in grades 1 through 5 learning to read in English (first language) and Persian (second language) concurrently. Findings supported both hypotheses. (Author/VWL)
