Subject:Reading Strategies response

There is a little bit of information on this subject in the literature
review done by the National Literacy Panel (Developing Literacy in
Second-Language Learners, Lawrence Erlbaum 2006).

The other report on this also shows up the paucity of information on
this topic was done by Development Associates and I believe it is
somewhere in press. For further information, you might want to contact
Annette Zehler of our staff at azehler at cal.org for more information on
the report.

These publications are focussed on students learning English who come
from Arabic and/or backgrounds that employ a different writing system so
they're not exactly what you're looking for but they're informative.

The other group that has done some work on learning strategies (but not
for kids) is the National Capital Language Resource Center. Contact
Catharine Keatley for information on the work she and other colleagues
have been doing with students of Arabic as a foreign language. Her
e-mail is ckeatley at gwu.edu.

It is possible that there is some work being done on this at the Center
for the Advanced Study of Language at the University of Maryland, but
who knows when that information will be available to the public!
