Transfer of syntactic awareness skills from English L3 to both Arabic L1 and Hebrew L2 occurred.
“Overall, the findings prove in the clearest way possible that a transfer of syntactic awareness skills from English L3 to both Arabic L1 and Hebrew L2 did occur, which is identical to the findings of others”

“Voweled, or vocalized, Arabic script can be described as shallow orthography for beginning readers, and non-vocalized Arab script as deep orthography for more advanced readers (Abu-Rabia, 2001b, 2002; Abu-Rabia & Siegel, 2003).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
