The research of others points to exactly what I do and why I do it:
Early Identification of At-Risk L2 Readers
Sharon J. MacCoubrey, Lesly Wade-Woolley, Don Klinger, and John R. Kirby
Identification can be made before the students learn to read in a second language, using phonological processing measures taken in the native language. These early results, therefore, indicate that an early intervention can be implemented to assist students before reading failure occurs.
While it is beyond the scope of this paper to comment extensively on the nature of an appropriate intervention, the general effectiveness of phonemic awareness programs for risk in reading development (National Reading Panel, 2000), and the ample evidence that phonemic awareness is transferable across alphabetic languages (e.g., Cisero & Royer, 1995; Comeau et al., 1999) would suggest that a phonemic awareness intervention could benefit reading development in both L1 and L2.
