English as a Foreign Language Spelling: Comparisons between Good and Poor Spellers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Russak, Susie; Kahn-Horwitz, Janina – Journal of Research in Reading, 2015
This study examined English as a foreign language (EFL) spelling development amongst 233 fifth-grade, eighth-grade and 10th-grade Hebrew first-language speakers to examine effects of English orthographic exposure on spelling. Good and poor speller differences were examined regarding the acquisition of novel phonemes (/ae/, /?/ and /?/) and…

Rapid Naming in Relation to Reading and Writing in Korean (Hangul), Chinese (Hanja) and English among Korean Children: A 1-Year Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Cho, Jeung-Ryeul; Chiu, Ming Ming – Journal of Research in Reading, 2015
The relation of rapid automatised naming (RAN) to word recognition may depend on the phonological regularity of the orthography. This study examined differential contributions of RAN to reading and writing in Korean alphabetic Hangul, logographic Hanja (Chinese) and English as a second language among 73 fifth graders in Korea across 1?year. RAN…

The Contributions of Orthographic Processing Factors to the Spelling Achievement of Middle-Elementary Students
Direct linkDirect link
Radaj, Jane M. – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The study examined the contributions of "orthographic processing" factors to the spelling achievement of typically developing middle-elementary students. The researcher framed orthographic processing as a multilinguistic, multidimensional construct involving process factors related to procedural orthographic operations and product…

Reading in an Alphasyllabary: Implications for a Language Universal Theory of Learning to Read
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nag, Sonali; Snowling, Margaret J. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2012
We report the associations between phonological awareness and orthographic knowledge in readers of alphasyllabic Kannada. Less fluent 9- to 12-year-olds with lower orthographic knowledge were at floor on phoneme tasks, but more fluent readers, with greater orthographic knowledge, showed significant phonemic awareness. Orthographic knowledge,…

The Differential Contributions of Auditory-Verbal and Visuospatial Working Memory on Decoding Skills in Children Who Are Poor Decoders
Direct linkDirect link
Squires, Katie Ellen – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This study investigated the differential contribution of auditory-verbal and visuospatial working memory (WM) on decoding skills in second- and fifth-grade children identified with poor decoding. Thirty-two second-grade students and 22 fifth-grade students completed measures that assessed simple and complex auditory-verbal and visuospatial memory,…

RAN Components and Reading Development from Grade 3 to Grade 5: What Underlies Their Relationship?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Georgiou, George K.; Parrila, Rauno; Kirby, John R. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2009
We examined (a) how rapid automatized naming (RAN) components--articulation time and pause time--predict reading accuracy and reading fluency in Grades 4 and 5, and (b) what cognitive-processing skills (phonological processing, orthographic processing, or speed of processing) mediate the RAN-reading relationship. Sixty children were followed from…
