The role of the home environment in phonological awareness and reading and writing ability in Tanzanian primary schoolchildren
In developing countries, the role of the home environment in children’s development of literacy skills is largely unknown. This study examines the relationship in a sample of 75 grade two children from rural eastern Tanzania. It also discusses the role of house building material and domestic facilities, in addition to parents’ education and occupation, in describing socioeconomic status in developing countries in general, and in the current study…
Reading and Writing Ability in Relation to Home Environment: A Study in Primary Education in Rural Tanzania
We don't have language at our house: Disentangling the relationship between phonological awareness, schooling, and literacy
BACKGROUND: A strong link between phonological awareness (PA) and literacy exists, but the origins of this link are difficult to investigate, since PA skills are hard to test in young, pre-literate children, and many studies neither include such children nor report children's initial literacy levels. AIMS: To examine PA and literacy in children who are attending or not attending school in rural East Africa. SAMPLE: One hundred and eight children …
Key Indicators of Home Environment for Educational Research in Rural Communities in Tanzania
Modeling the effects of health status and the educational infrastructure on the cognitive development of Tanzanian schoolchildren
This paper models the proximate determinants of school attendance and scores on cognitive and educational achievement tests and on school examinations of over 600 schoolchildren from the Control group of a randomized trial in Tanzania, where children in the Intervention group heavily infected with hookworm and schistosomiasis received treatment. The modeling approach used a random effects framework and incorporated the inter-relationships between…

Participants heard a grammatically agreeing (concordant), nonagreeing (discordant) or neutral prime before seeing a picture of a common object and being asked to name the object.…
