Understanding the process of how English learners learn toread in two languages has been a major challenge for readingteachers. Few studies have empirically tested theoretical modelsthat explain the processes of becoming a proficient reader in twoalphabetic languages, Spanish and English. This study usedPefertti's blueprint of the General Components of Beginning Readingto explain the relation between oral reading fluency andcomprehension, two critical constructs of beginning reading.Participants were second grade Spanish-speaking students who werelearning to read in Spanish and English. One of the major findingssuggest that early and later skills in Spanish contribute 47percent of the variance explained in English reading comprehension,indicating that a fluent reader in Spanish, has a higherprobability of becoming a fluent reader in English than a lessfluent reader in Spanish. Our analysis should be particularlyinteresting to researchers and educators who want to learn moreabout the practical implications of interpreting the readingprocess in Spanish and English using Perfetti's theoreticalframework.
