Understanding the Relations between RAN Letter Subtest Components and Word Reading in First-Grade Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Neuhaus, Graham F.; Swank, Paul R. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2002
First grade students (n=221) were tested on measures of verbal fluency, visual attention, phonological awareness, orthographic recognition, rapid automated naming (RAN) of letters and objects, and reading. Findings indicated that word reading was directly and significantly predicted by RAN letter naming and general RAN cognitive processing time of…

Reading into Reading Research through Nonalphabetic Lenses: Evidence from the Indian Languages.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Karanth, Prathibha – Topics in Language Disorders, 2002
This article argues for widening the research base on reading from the specific constraints of reading in alphabetic scripts to a larger database covering a variety of scripts. Several recent studies on reading the alphasyllabaries of India are reviewed. Findings indicate that alphasyllabaries are not processed in the same manner as alphabets.…

Using Letter-Naming Speed to Diagnose Reading Disability.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Carver, Ronald P. – Remedial and Special Education (RASE), 1991
This study, involving 47 students in grades 2-10, investigated letter-naming speed to determine whether it measures cognitive speed, a theoretical factor that purportedly influences reading rate. It was determined that cognitive speed and cognitive power are two independent factors and that letter-naming speed can be used to measure cognitive…

Predicting Reading Ability over the Long Term: The Changing Roles of Letter Naming, Phonological Awareness and Orthographic Processing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Badian, Nathlie A. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1995
A cohort of 92 children was followed through sixth grade to investigate the relationship of preschool skills and first-grade phonological awareness to later reading and spelling abilities. In particular, the focus was on the changing roles of letter naming, orthographic awareness, and phonological processing in prediction of reading vocabulary,…

Estimating the Risk of Future Reading Difficulties in Kindergarten Children: A Research-based Model and Its Clinical Implementation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Catts, Hugh W.; Fey, Marc E.; Zhang, Xuyang; Tomblin, J. Bruce – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2001
This longitudinal study examined predictors of second-grade reading outcomes in kindergarten children (N=604). Findings indicated that five kindergarten variables uniquely predicted reading outcomes in second grade: (1) letter identification, (2) sentence imitation, (3) phonological awareness, (4) rapid naming, and (5) mother's education.…

Acquisition and Use of Spelling-Sound Correspondences in Reading.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Backman, Joan; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Examines the development of word recognition skills of 80 school children (grades two-four). Good beginning readers rapidly learn to recognize high frequency words from visual input alone and simultaneously expand and consolidate spelling sound correspondences. Younger and poor readers rely more on phonological information in word decoding.…
