For example, some languages are very similar in their word structure (English and Spanish share several cognates). This being said, it makes logical sense to assume that a student's "lexical knowledge" in their first language can be transferred to their second language. ]]> 2021-04-07 00:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalonga0020/gjtrqiyzcahn96el/wish/1389506147 https://padlet.com/ssalonga0020/gjtrqiyzcahn96el/wish/1389515072 2021-04-07 00:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalonga0020/gjtrqiyzcahn96el/wish/1389515072 https://padlet.com/ssalonga0020/gjtrqiyzcahn96el/wish/1389517065 Bilingual children have stronger metalinguistic awareness that can assist them in learning to read. Studies document that bilingualism boosts children’s metalinguistic awareness (phonological, morphological, syntactic, etc.) with different aspects of reading (e.g., decoding, word reading, word knowledge, and comprehension). These benefits exist across different pairs of alphabetic languages (e.g., Spanish-English, Korean-English) and orthographically contrasting languages (such as Chinese-English).
