The present study compared the influence of bi-literate bilingualism versus mono-literate bilingualism on the development of literary skills in English. The sample of 107 11-year-old children from Haifa, Israel, were divided into three groups matched in age, gender, sociol-economic level, verbal and non-verbal IQ: bi-literate bilinguals, mono-literate bilinguals and mono-literate monolinguals. In most cases the findings from these studies reported significant advantages for bilingual children over their monolingual peers in the process of English language acquisition.This research provides evidence for distinguishing between the processes of literacy acquisition in English, highlighting the unique role of the Russian language literacy experience in a Hebrew speaking, non-additive educational context.
