Bidirectional Relations of Phonological Sensitivity and Prereading Abilities: Evidence from a Preschool Sample.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Burgess, Stephen R.; Lonigan, Christopher J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Examined the relationship between phonological sensitivity and letter knowledge in 4- and 5-year-olds in a one-year longitudinal study. Found that phonological sensitivity predicted letter knowledge growth, and letter knowledge predicted phonological sensitivity growth, when controlling for age and oral language abilities. Also found that the…

Segmentation, Not Rhyming, Predicts Early Progress in Learning to Read.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Muter, Valerie; Hulme, Charles; Snowling, Margaret; Taylor, Sara – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Examined phonological skills of children during their first two years of learning to read. Found that segmentation was strongly correlated with reading and spelling attainment at the end of the first year of school; letter-name knowledge predicted reading and spelling skill and interacted with segmentation skills. Rhyming predicted spelling skills…

The Development of Phonological Awareness in Preschool Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Carroll, Julia M.; Snowling, Margaret J.; Hulme, Charles; Stevenson, Jim – Developmental Psychology, 2003
At 3 points in time over a 12-month period, this short-term longitudinal study examined 67 preschoolers' syllable, rime, and phoneme awareness; speech and language skills; and letter knowledge. Findings indicated that rime skills developed earlier than phoneme skills. Structural equation models showed that articulatory skills and syllable and rime…

Development of Emergent Literacy and Early Reading Skills in Preschool Children: Evidence from a Latent-Variable Longitudinal Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lonigan, Christopher J.; Burgess, Stephen R.; Anthony, Jason L. – Developmental Psychology, 2000
Examined the joint and unique predictive significance of emergent literacy skills for later emergent literacy skills and reading in two samples of preschoolers. Structural equation modeling revealed significant developmental continuity of these skills, particularly for letter knowledge and phonological sensitivity from late preschool to early…
