Peer reviewedInagaki, Kayoko; Hatano, Giyoo; Otake, Takashi – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2000
Three experiments investigated whether Japanese children's segmentation units would change as they learned to read "kana" letters, which represent "morae" or Japanese subsyllabic rhythmic units. Results indicated that children's conscious segmentation of words, except for those having a geminate stop consonant, progressed from…

Peer reviewedBurgess, Stephen R.; Lonigan, Christopher J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Examined the relationship between phonological sensitivity and letter knowledge in 4- and 5-year-olds in a one-year longitudinal study. Found that phonological sensitivity predicted letter knowledge growth, and letter knowledge predicted phonological sensitivity growth, when controlling for age and oral language abilities. Also found that the…

Peer reviewedMuter, Valerie; Hulme, Charles; Snowling, Margaret; Taylor, Sara – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Examined phonological skills of children during their first two years of learning to read. Found that segmentation was strongly correlated with reading and spelling attainment at the end of the first year of school; letter-name knowledge predicted reading and spelling skill and interacted with segmentation skills. Rhyming predicted spelling skills…
