Predictors of Grade 3 French immersion students' reading comprehension

The book "Predictors of Grade 3 French immersion students' reading comprehension" by Isabelle Denizot offers a comprehensive examination of the factors influencing the reading comprehension skills of students in an early French immersion program. Based on a study involving 72 third graders, the research analyzes how phonological and morphological awareness, as well as receptive vocabulary, predict reading performance in a second language. The findings indicate that reading comprehension depends on both cultural knowledge and familiarity with the text content. The study emphasizes the importance of reading comprehension as a key to academic success and provides valuable insights for the development of curricula and educational approaches in language education. The findings are significant not only for education professionals but also for researchers studying multilingualism and reading acquisition.
