Concurrent and Longitudinal Predictors of Reading: The Role of Metalinguistic and Short-Term Memory Skills.

Muter, Valerie; Snowling, Margaret

Reading Research Quarterly, v33 n3 p320-37 Jul-Sep 1998

Investigates the relationship between phonological awareness, short-term memory, grammatical awareness, and reading accuracy in a follow-up study of 34 nine-year-olds originally studied as preschoolers. Finds the best concurrent predictor set for reading accuracy at age nine was grammatic knowledge, phoneme awareness, and speech rate, which together explained nearly 90% of variance in reading skill.
