Child and parental literacy levels within families with a history of dyslexia / Elsje VAN BERGEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 53-1 (January 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 53-1 (January 2012) . - p.28-36 Titre : Child and parental literacy levels within families with a history of dyslexia Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elsje VAN BERGEN, Auteur ; Peter F. DE JONG, Auteur ; Anna PLAKAS, Auteur ; Ben MAASSEN, Auteur ; Aryan VAN DER LEIJ, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.28-36 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Dyslexia  family history  parent–child relationships  reading  phonological processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  The present study concerns literacy and its underlying cognitive skills in Dutch children who differ in familial risk (FR) for dyslexia. Previous studies with FR-children were inconclusive regarding the performance of FR-children without dyslexia as compared to the controls. Moreover, van Bergen et al. (2011) recently showed that FR-children with and without dyslexia differed in parental reading skills, suggesting that those who go on to develop dyslexia have a higher liability. The current study concerned 1) the comparison of three groups of children at the end of second grade and 2) the intergenerational transfer of reading and its underlying cognitive skills from parent to child. Method:  Three groups of children were studied at the end of second grade: FR-dyslexia (n = 42), FR-no-dyslexia (n = 99), and control children (n = 66). Parents and children were measured on naming, phonology, spelling, and word and pseudoword reading. Results:  The FR-dyslexia children were severely impaired across all tasks. The FR-no-dyslexia children performed better than the FR-dyslexia children, but still below the level of the controls on all tasks; the only exception was rapid naming (RAN), on which they were as fast as the controls. Focusing on the FR subsample, parental reading and RAN were related to their offspring’s reading status. Conclusions:  We replicated and extended van Bergen et al.’s study in showing that the FR-children who develop dyslexia are likely to have a higher liability. Both the group comparisons and the parent–child relations highlight the importance of good RAN skills for reading acquisition.

The intergenerational impact of mothers and fathers on children's word reading development / Germán GRANDE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-7 (July 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 66-7 (July 2025) . - p.946-955 Titre : The intergenerational impact of mothers and fathers on children's word reading development Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Germán GRANDE, Auteur ; Tonje AMLAND, Auteur ; Elsje VAN BERGEN, Auteur ; Monica MELBY-LERVÃ…G, Auteur ; Arne LERVAG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.946-955 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intergenerational transmission  reading environment  home literacy  reading development  genetic confounding Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Numerous studies have investigated the associations between the home literacy environment (HLE) and children's word reading skills. However, these associations may partly reflect shared genetic factors since parents provide both the reading environment and their child's genetic predisposition to reading. Hence, the relationship between the HLE and children's reading is genetically confounded. To address this, parents' reading abilities have been suggested as a covariate, serving as a proxy for genetic transmission. The few studies that have incorporated this covariate control have made no distinction between the HLE reported by each parent or controlled for different skills in parents and children. We predicted children's reading development over time by the reading abilities of both parents as covariates and both parents' self-reported HLE as predictors. Methods We analyzed data from 242 unrelated children, 193 mothers, and 144 fathers. Children's word reading was assessed in Grades 1 and 3, and parents' word reading was assessed on a single occasion. Predictors of children's reading development included literacy resources and shared reading activities. Results Children's reading in Grade 3 was predicted by mothers' engagement in reading activities and by literacy resources at home, even after controlling for the genetic proxy of parental reading abilities. The longitudinal rate of change from Grades 1 to 3 was not associated with the HLE or parental reading. Conclusions Our finding that parental reading skills predicted children's word reading beyond children's initial word reading underscores the importance of considering genetic confounding in research on the home environment. Beyond parental reading abilities, children's skills were predicted by literacy resources in the home and by how often mothers engage in reading activities with their children. This suggests true environmental effects.

Why do children read more? The influence of reading ability on voluntary reading practices / Elsje VAN BERGEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 59-11 (November 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 59-11 (November 2018) . - p.1205-1214 Titre : Why do children read more? The influence of reading ability on voluntary reading practices Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elsje VAN BERGEN, Auteur ; Margaret J. SNOWLING, Auteur ; Eveline L. DE ZEEUW, Auteur ; Catarina E.M. VAN BEIJSTERVELDT, Auteur ; Conor V. DOLAN, Auteur ; Dorret I. BOOMSMA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1205-1214 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Direction of causality models  behaviour-genetics  causal modelling  print exposure  reading skills  twin studies Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: This study investigates the causal relationships between reading and print exposure and investigates whether the amount children read outside school determines how well they read, or vice versa. Previous findings from behavioural studies suggest that reading predicts print exposure. Here, we use twin-data and apply the behaviour-genetic approach of direction of causality modelling, suggested by Heath et al. (), to investigate the causal relationships between these two traits. METHOD: Partial data were available for a large sample of twin children (N = 11,559) and 262 siblings, all enrolled in the Netherlands Twin Register. Children were assessed around 7.5 years of age. Mothers completed questionnaires reporting children's time spent on reading activities and reading ability. Additional information on reading ability was available through teacher ratings and performance on national reading tests. For siblings reading test, results were available. RESULTS: The reading ability of the twins was comparable to that of the siblings and national norms, showing that twin findings can be generalized to the population. A measurement model was specified with two latent variables, Reading Ability and Print Exposure, which correlated .41. Heritability analyses showed that Reading Ability was highly heritable, while genetic and environmental influences were equally important for Print Exposure. We exploited the fact that the two constructs differ in genetic architecture and fitted direction of causality models. The results supported a causal relationship running from Reading Ability to Print Exposure. CONCLUSIONS: How much and how well children read are moderately correlated. Individual differences in print exposure are less heritable than individual differences in reading ability. Importantly, the present results suggest that it is the children's reading ability that determines how much they choose to read, rather than vice versa.
