Specific Predictors of Length and Frequency Effects in German Beginning Readers: Testing Component Processes of Sublexical and Lexical Reading in the DRC
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Hasenäcker, Jana; Schroeder, Sascha – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Reading a word requires several component processes. The dual route cascaded (DRC) model provides a characterization of these component processes and their involvement in different reading routes. We tested how relevant precursor skills associated with these component processes predict the use of the sublexical and lexical route in beginning…

Exploring the Malleability of RAN Skills

Jessica Leigh Block – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN) is commonly thought of as one of the best predictors of reading achievement when compared to phonological awareness and letter name knowledge (Norton & Wolf, 2012). However, only one previous study has demonstrated significant growth following a RAN intervention (Vander Stappen & Reybroeck, 2018). This…

Roy-Charland, Annie; Perron, Melanie; Boulard, Jessica; Chamberland, Justin; Hoffman, Nichola – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2015
The current study examined the effect of pointing to the words and using highlighted text by examining eye movements when children in preschool, Grade 1 and 2 were read storybooks of two levels of difficulty. For all children, pointing to and highlighting the text was observed to increase the amount of time and number of fixations on the printed…

Stem and Derivational-Suffix Processing during Reading by French Second and Third Graders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Cole, Pascale; Bouton, Sophie; Leuwers, Christel; Casalis, Severine; Sprenger-Charolles, Liliane – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2012
Morphological processing by French children was investigated in two experiments. The first showed that second and third graders read pseudowords such as "chat-ure" ("cat-ish") composed of an illegally combined real stem and real derivational suffix faster and more accurately than they read matched pseudowords composed of a pseudostem and a real…

Evidence for Multiple Routes in Learning to Read
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Grainger, Jonathan; Lete, Bernard; Bertand, Daisy; Dufau, Stephane; Ziegler, Johannes C. – Cognition, 2012
We describe a multiple-route model of reading development in which coarse-grained orthographic processing plays a key role in optimizing access to semantics via whole-word orthographic representations. This forms part of the direct orthographic route that gradually replaces phonological recoding during the initial phases of reading acquisition.…

Learning to Read Setswana and English: Cross-Language Transference of Letter Knowledge, Phonological Awareness and Word Reading Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lekgoko, Olemme; Winskel, Heather – Perspectives in Education, 2008
The current study investigates how beginner readers learn to read Setswana and English, and whether there is cross-language transference of skills between these two languages. Letter knowledge, phoneme awareness and reading of words and pseudowords in both Setswana and English were assessed in 36 Grade 2 children. A complex pattern emerged.…
