Risk factors for children's receptive vocabulary development from four to eight years in the longitudinal study of Australian children.

Receptive vocabulary develops rapidly in early childhood and builds the foundation for language acquisition and literacy. Variation in receptive vocabulary ability is associated with variation in children's school achievement, and low receptive vocabulary ability is a risk factor for under-achi...
