On the Contribution of Kindergarten Writing to Grade 1 Literacy: A Longitudinal Study in Hebrew.

Shatil, Evelyn; Share, David L.; Levin, Iris

Applied Psycholinguistics, v21 n1 p1-21 Mar 2000

This longitudinal study examined the relationship between kindergarten word writing and Grade 1 literacy in a large sample of Israeli children. Kindergarten writing significantly predicted variance in all three measures of Grade 1 literacy, even after controlling for intelligence. Also examined the role of alphabetic skills and socioliteracy variables in accounting for the predictive power of kindergarten writing. (Author/VWL)
