• Development of oral language skills in children at familial risk of dyslexia from toddlerhood to school age: Associations, Predictors, and Outcomes 

      Caglar-Ryeng, Ømur (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-05-28)
      Previous research has shown that early oral language skills, including vocabulary and grammar, lay the foundation for later reading and writing ability and that children with poor oral language skills at the time of school entry are at heightened risk for later language and reading-related problems. Research focusing on the longitudinal development of lexical and grammatical skills in children born ...
    • The effects of book exposure and reading interest on oral language skills of children with and without a familial risk of dyslexia 

      Caglar-Ryeng, Ømur; Eklund, Kenneth; Nergård-Nilssen, Trude (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-28)
      The potential role of home literacy environment (HLE) in children's language development has been widely studied. However, data on the HLE of children with familial risk (FR) of dyslexia are limited. In this longitudinal study, we examined (a) whether amount of book exposure and reading interest at age 4 were different in samples of Norwegian FR and no FR‐children, respectively, (b) whether these ...
    • Lexical and grammatical development in children at family risk of dyslexia from early childhood to school entry: a cross-lagged analysis 

      Caglar-Ryeng, Ømur; Eklund, Kenneth; Nergård-Nilssen, Trude (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-18)
      The aim of this study was to examine (a) the development of vocabulary and grammar in children with family-risk (FR) of dyslexia and their peers with no such risk (NoFR) between ages 1;6 and 6;0, and (b) whether FR-status exerted an effect on the direction of temporal relationships between these two constructs. Groups were assessed at seven time-points using standardised tests and parental reports. ...
    • School‐entry language outcomes in late talkers with and without a family risk of dyslexia 

      Caglar-Ryeng, Ømur; Eklund, Kenneth; Nergård-Nilssen, Trude (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-17)
      Children with familial risk (FR) of dyslexia and children with early language delay are known to be at risk for later language and literacy difficulties. However, research addressing long‐term outcomes in children with both risk factors is scarce. This study tracked FR and No‐FR children identified as late talkers at 2 years of age and reports development from 4;6 through 6 years. We examined the ...
