Letter-Naming Knowledge in Kindergartners: What's Happening?

Blanchard, Jay; Logan, John

Reading Psychology, v9 n3 piii-xi 1988

Tests the statement in "Becoming a Nation of Readers" that kindergartners can name an average of 14 letters. Finds that a more realistic distribution is bi-modal in that most kindergartners know 8 or fewer letters, and only a few can name more than 20 letters. (RS)
