Fernando Núñez-Regueiro; Natacha Boissicat; Fanny Gimbert; Céline Pobel-Burtin; Marie-Caroline Croset; Marie-Line Bosse; Cécile Nurra – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Research suggests that providing children with activities that involve using their bodies to form the shapes of letters can help them acquire pre-reading skills. Little is known, however, as to the extent to which such embodied learning interventions are superior to more traditional pencil-and-paper activities, which of specific arm or body…

Gehsmann, Kristin M.; Mesmer, Heidi Anne – Reading Teacher, 2023
This article addresses the characteristics of learners in the emergent stage of literacy development and describes two instructional practices that facilitate the development of the alphabetic principle and concept of word in text.

Durán, Leah G.; Lopez, Rebecca L. – Reading Teacher, 2023
This article describes how preschool-age children can engage with recipes as a genre for reading, writing, and play. This formative/design study was conducted by a teacher researcher partnership in a linguistically and socioeconomically diverse public early learning center. Through home engagements, the research team identified cooking as a site…

Joy, Jeena Mary; Venkatesh, Lakshmi; Mathew, Samuel N.; Narayanan, Swapna – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: Learning to read is a complex process that involves phonological and orthographic processing abilities, broader language skills and cognitive processes across all writing systems. Although these components remain common, the pace of acquisition of phonological and orthographic processing and reading abilities differ across writing…

Kaye, Elizabeth L.; Lose, Mary K. – Reading Teacher, 2019
Letter learning is nuanced, complex, and essential to the development of an effective literacy processing system. Forming and naming letters, rapidly differentiating between visually similar letters, and recognizing their sound correspondences are foundational to becoming a reader and writer. Indeed, control over letters affects monitoring,…

Jin Wang; Marc F. Joanisse; James R. Booth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: It is often assumed that phonological awareness only reflects children's phonological skill. However, orthographic representations have been found to be automatically involved during phonological awareness tasks, which we refer to as automatic orthographic activation. Although previous longitudinal neural studies have addressed how…

Vadasy, Patricia F.; Sanders, Elizabeth A. – Grantee Submission, 2021
A brief experiment was designed to examine cognitive flexibility practice embedded in beginning phonics instruction for kindergarteners with limited early literacy learning. Previously tested phonics content included single- and high-frequency two-letter grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs), introduced at a rate of 2-4 correspondences per week.…

Edwards, Ashley A.; Steacy, Laura M.; Siegelman, Noam; Rigobon, Valeria M.; Kearns, Devin M.; Rueckl, Jay G.; Compton, Donald L. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Set for variability (SfV) is an oral language task that requires an individual to disambiguate the mismatch between the decoded form of an irregular word and its actual lexical pronunciation. For example, in the task, the word wasp is pronounced to rhyme with clasp (i.e. /waesp/), and the individual must recognize the actual pronunciation of the…

van de Walle de Ghelcke, Alice; Rossion, Bruno; Schiltz, Christine; Lochy, Aliette – Developmental Science, 2021
The developmental course of neural tuning to visual letter strings is unclear. Here we tested 39 children longitudinally, at the beginning of grade 1 (6.45 ± 0.33 years old) and 1 year after, with fast periodic visual stimulation in electroencephalography to assess the evolution of selective neural responses to letter strings and their…

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…

Cho, Jeung-Ryeul; McBride, Catherine; Kim, Bonghee – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
This study assessed the effects of four types of teaching instruction for Hangul learning in Korean kindergartners. Forty-five four-year-old children participated in a Hangul learning experiment where they were taught 6 new Korean Guljas (Korean written syllable) in each of four conditions--whole Gulja, alphabet letter, CV (consonant + vowel) body…

Barlow-Brown, Fiona; Barker, Christopher; Harris, Margaret – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Background: Beginning readers are typically introduced to enlarged print, and the size of this print decreases as readers become more fluent. In comparison, beginning blind readers are expected to learn standard-sized Braille from the outset because past research suggests letter knowledge cannot be transferred across different sizes of Braille.…

Vadasy, Patricia F.; Sanders, Elizabeth A. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Two experiments explored rates for introducing grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) and the types of correspondences taught for optimal alphabet and early literacy skills learning. In both studies, children entered with minimal alphabet knowledge and were randomly assigned within classrooms to one of two treatments delivered individually over…

Scanlon, Donna M.; Anderson, Kimberly L. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2020
Recently, there has been growing concern about how to most effectively support the literacy development of beginning and struggling readers with regard to helping them learn to effortlessly identify the huge number of words that proficient readers ultimately learn to read with automaticity. Some, noting the critical importance of phonics…

The current study aimed to investigate Saudi preschool teachers' beliefs about emergent literacy skills and practices. To this end, an explanatory, sequential mixed methods research design was adopted. The study involved two phases. The first involved a Q methodology approach to answer the overarching questions, "What are Saudi preschool…
