Purpose Statement
The purpose of this study is to determine why recent adoptees from China are struggling in the areas of language and literacy upon entering elementary school.
Research Questions
1) Why are children adopted from China experiencing problems with language and literacy as they enter elementary school?
2) Does the age at adoption, along with the initial development of the child’s first language, affect children’s overall language skills upon entering school?
3) Is there a relationship between the time children spend grasping the English language and difficulties they have with language/literacy in school during their early elementary years?
