Verified content
- [abstract] Random-effects model: small positive effect g = 0.23 (95% CI 0.10–0.36) for bilingual over submersion programmes on reading of language-minority children.
- [abstract] Only five studies in the model; generalizability limited; more European studies needed.
Limits
- Read level: abstract. Numbers only from what was read; do not use for a ledger verdict until full text is checked where marked abstract-only or secondary.
