The role of achievement strategies on literacy acquisition across languages
چکیده انگلیسی

We examined the importance of children’s achievement strategies in different literacy outcomes in three languages varying in orthographic consistency: Chinese, English, and Greek. Eighty Chinese-speaking Taiwanese children, 51 English-speaking Canadian children and 70 Greek children were assessed on measures of phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, reading fluency, and spelling. The children’s use of a task-focused versus task-avoidant achievement strategy in the classroom context was rated by their teachers. The results indicated that the teacher-rated task-focused behavior was a significant predictor of spelling and to a lesser extent of reading fluency and that its effects were comparable across languages.

Research highlights
► We examined the effects of achievement strategies on literacy across languages.
► Achievement strategies predicted significantly reading fluency and spelling.
► Orthography did not moderate the effect of achievement strategies.
► Achievement strategies predicted more strongly spelling than reading fluency.
