Reading literacy and executive function: A hybrid intervention model

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this project is to identify elements of effective early literacy development, specific to reading, and to associate the student’s literacy achievement with their executive function skills. The literature review examines the underpinnings of early literacy and reading development. It explores the essential component of reading and the various theories of reading. Teacher efficacy, classroom climate and home support are examined as external factors contributing to reading difficulties. Internal factors of executive function skills, such as cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control and working memory are also defined and considered as contributing to reading development. A hybrid intervention model that includes explicit literacy instruction and executive function strategies is proposed to support struggling early readers.
