Direct linkHarrison, Emily; Wood, Clare; Holliman, Andrew J.; Vousden, Janet I. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Despite empirical evidence of a relationship between sensitivity to speech rhythm and reading, there have been few studies that have examined the impact of rhythmic training on reading attainment, and no intervention study has focused on speech rhythm sensitivity specifically to enhance reading skills. Seventy-three typically developing 4- to…

González-Trujillo, M. Carmen; Defior, Sylvia; Gutiérrez-Palma, Nicolás – Journal of Research in Reading, 2014
Recent literacy research shows an increasing interest in the influence of prosody on literacy acquisition. The current study examines the relationship of nonspeech rhythmic skills to children's reading acquisition, and their possible relation to stress assignment in Spanish, a syllable-timed language. Sixty-six third graders with no reading…

Beattie, Rachel L.; Manis, Franklin R. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2014
Studies have begun to focus on what skills contribute to the development of phonological awareness, an important predictor of reading attainment. One of these skills is the perception of prosody, which is the rhythm, tempo and stress of a language. To examine whether prosodic perception contributes to phonological awareness prior to reading…

David, Dana; Wade-Woolley, Lesly; Kirby, John R.; Smithrim, Katharine – Journal of Research in Reading, 2007
Rhythm production in 53 children in grade 1 was investigated as a predictor of reading ability in the same children in grades 1-5. This paper reports the results of correlations and hierarchical regression analyses, controlling for shared variance between phonological awareness and naming speed. Rhythm was correlated significantly with both…

Thomson, Jennifer M.; Fryer, Ben; Maltby, James; Goswami, Usha – Journal of Research in Reading, 2006
Children with developmental dyslexia appear to be insensitive to basic auditory cues to speech rhythm and stress. For example, they experience difficulties in processing duration and amplitude envelope onset cues. Here we explored the sensitivity of adults with developmental dyslexia to the same cues. In addition, relations with expressive and…

Whalley, Karen; Hansen, Julie – Journal of Research in Reading, 2006
While the critical importance of phonological awareness (segmental phonology) to reading ability is well established, the potential role of prosody (suprasegmental phonology) in reading development has only recently been explored. This study examined the relationship between children's prosodic skills and reading ability. Hierarchical multiple…
