Abstract
We examined the respective associations of attention focusing, inhibitory control, behavioral persistence, and cognitive flexibility with basic English reading skills in a longitudinal sample of dual language learners from Chinese American families (N = 258). Our analysis showed these executive function components to be differentially related to reading proficiency.
