Rupley, William H.; And Others – Reading World, 1979
Describes a study of the visual discrimination abilities of children who varied in their ability to recognize words. Indicates that visual discrimination skills of the type needed to discriminate between single artificial graphemes do not seem essential for the word recognition aspect of reading. (TJ)

Cox, Diane K. – 1976
This study investigated the relation between field independence/field dependence (FI/FD) and reading success. One hundred kindergarten children from a predominantly white, middle-class community were administered a Portable Rod and Frame Test as a measure of cognitive style. The upper and lower 27% were identified and designated Field Dependent…

Hyman, Joan S.; Cohen, S. Alan – 1974
The stimulus properties of the letters b, d, p, and q were investigated in an attempt to demonstrate that the common reversal of these letters by beginning readers is in part determined by the vertical aspect of the stimulus figure. One hundred eighty kindergarteners were randomly selected from a racially mixed population and randomly assigned to…

Webber, Margaret Sharp – 1972
The purposes of this study were to determine (1) if it is possible to predict which children will develop word recognition deficits based on levels of articulation proficiency and auditory discrimination ability; (2) the effect of two different instructional approaches for beginning reading, phonics, and whole-word approach; and (3) if first grade…

Kuchenbecker, Shari Young – 1972
The purpose of this 233-item annotated bibliography is to present relevant research addressing the primary subskills in the word decoding task. The topical areas of investigation are auditory discrimination, visual discrimination, auditory-visual integration, blending, and cognitive processing of information. An introduction and a cross-referenced…

Williams, Joanna P. – 1970
Strategies children use when they recognize words were explored. To measure the effectiveness of two different methods of training children to attend to the critical features of letters, 40 first-grade urban children were presented two pairs of letters (similar and dissimilar) simultaneously or successively. Unexpectedly, it was found that with…

Timko, Henry G. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1983
Forty kindergarten children were randomly assigned to four conditions to investigate the influence of criterion level on the discrimination of highly confusable letters in beginning reading. Half the subjects were exposed to simultaneous, and half to successive discriminations. The groups were equally divided as to criterion level, i.e., four vs.…

Wright, Julia Ann – 1976
A stratified random sample of 70 pupils was selected from 261 children from three elementary schools, who had completed one year of formal reading instruction. To investigate whether visual discrimination or visual-motor development was more closely related to reading achievement, tests of reading achievement, intelligence, visual-motor abilities,…

Leslie, Ron – Journal of Reading Behavior, 1980
In two experiments, a short-term recognition memory task that varied the number of letters distinguishing target and comparison stimuli was used to assess the ability of prereaders and beginning readers to utilize graphic information in a three-letter graphic pattern. (HOD)

STRANDBERG, JOEL E.; AND OTHERS – 1967
TWO FEASIBILITY STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED TO OBTAIN EVIDENCE OF THE VALUE OF INSTRUCTING CHILDREN WITH THE TALKING BOOK SYSTEM. SUBJECTS WERE TWO GROUPS OF CHILDREN RANGING IN AGE FROM 5-0 TO 6-1 YEARS. THE CHILDREN MANIPULATED THE EQUIPMENT AND DIRECTED THE MAGNETIC READER IN ORDER TO LEARN TO READ SIX SIGHT WORDS AND THE TWO-WORD SENTENCES…

Bogle, Meta Eloise – 1978
The responses of 84 children (42 in kindergarten and 42 in first grade) while trying to identify sight words that were similar in sound (bowl/pole), similar in sound and shape (boat/boot), or dissimilar (cup/moon) yielded information about phonetic composition as a source of information by which beginning readers identify sight words. The…

Cohn, Marvin – 1974
This paper examines the letter recognition difficulties of 322 primary grade students with decoding problems. Each student was asked to name all of the lower case letters, which were presented in non-alphabetical order. Each response was accurately recorded to determine which letters were taken for others. All responses were then tallied, and an…
