Embedding Executive Function Training into Early Literacy Instruction for Dual Language Learners: A Pilot Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Goodrich, J. Marc; Peng, Peng; Bohaty, Janet; Leiva, Sergio; Thayer, Lauren – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Early literacy skills are key indicators of future reading development for young dual language learners (DLLs). Additionally, emerging evidence indicates that young children's executive function (EF) skills are uniquely associated with elementary school reading outcomes (Ribner et al., 2017). Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study was…

Ketelaars, Mieke Pauline; Jansonius, Kino; Cuperus, Juliane; Verhoeven, Ludo – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2012
This study investigated narrative competence in children with pragmatic language impairment (PLI) and the extent to which it is related to impairments in theory of mind and executive functioning (EF). Narrative competence was assessed using a retelling design in a group of 77 children with PLI and a control group of 77 typically developing…
