Abstract
Researchers have explored a host of individual differences factors that may be critical to language development. However, evidence on the impact of sociocultural and demographic factors such as gender and socioeconomic status (SES) on early language development among bilingual children has been limited. This study aimed to understand the role of gender and SES variables in early English reading development among Chinese-English bilinguals in the Canadian context. Chinese-Canadian children (N = 143) in grade 1 and grade 2 were investigated by assessing their early English reading skills, including receptive vocabulary, letter and word recognition, and reading comprehension. The descriptive statistics revealed a gender difference in favor of girls in all three tests and the children from low-SES families scored lower in all reading-related skills across grades. Multivariate analysis of variance results further evidenced the robustness of SES in affecting early reading development, as significant effects of SES were found in receptive vocabulary in grade 1 and all three tests in grade 2.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
