| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This longitudinal cross-linguistic study examined the cognitive and noncognitive correlates of early literacy development across three orthographies varying in orthographic consistency (Japanese, English, and Greek). The results showed that: (1) There were remarkable differences in the cognitive predictors of early literacy development in Japanese Hiragana and Kanji; (2) Japanese parents adaptively adjusted their home literacy activities to their child’s literacy skills; (3) Whereas the relationships between motivation and literacy skills were bidirectional in English- and Greek-speaking children, those were relatively limited in Japanese children.
