Abstract:This exploratory predictive study investigates our capacity to predict risk of developing reading difficulties based on a battery of tasks tapping into commonly used reading screening constructs. A key question pertains to the extent to which we can predict fairly and with equal accuracy for native English-speakers (EO) and emerging multilinguals (English learners [ELs] with sufficient English-proficiency to participate in English screening). This prediction exercise takes place in a linguistically diverse sam… Show more
