Defining Phonological Awareness and Its Relationship to Early Reading.

Stahl, Steven A.; Murray, Bruce A.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v86 n2 p221-34 Jun 1994

One hundred thirteen kindergartners and first graders completed phonological awareness (PA) tasks designed to separate task difficulty from linguistic complexity. Comparison of these results with measures of early literacy suggests that PA measured by differences in linguistic complexity seems more closely related to the single factor on which measures are loaded.
