A research project funded by NICHD to study reading comprehension in adolescents, focusing on protective and risk factors, using longitudinal data from monolingual and bilingual students.
Description
This project aims to determine the structure of reading comprehension in 11th grade, clarify key predictors of reading comprehension within and across adolescence, and identify protective and risk factors for good and poor reading comprehension. It builds on previous longitudinal studies of monolingual and bilingual students to address gaps in reading science related to high school students' reading comprehension.
