Reading, like many other acquired skills, is developed and refined through extensive formal instruction and practice. However, bilinguals, by virtue of knowing and using two or more languages, necessarily have less first- (L1) and second-language (L2) reading experience than monolinguals who, by definition, read in one language exclusively. Thus, an important question for the study of bilingualism and language generally is how changes in L2 experience affect reading in both the L1 and the L2. While it stands to reason that increased L2 experience should relate to enhanced reading fluency in the L2, it is less clear whether L1 reading fluency should also be affected. Indeed, a commonly held belief within linguistics is that L1 skills of ...
