In transparent orthographies, decoding is typically acquired early, driven by phonological awareness and phoneme-grapheme mapping, independent of L1 or L2 status. However, among 193 L1 and 211 L2 German-speaking children, L2 learners showed delayed word reading but slightly superior pseudoword reading, likely due to weaker lexical representations; this inhibitory effect remained stable, affirming pseudoword reading as a valid fluency measure.
