Uxue Pérez-Litago; Josué M. Rojas-Guerra; Cristina Martínez-García; Paz Suárez-Coalla – Annals of Dyslexia, 2025
Developmental dyslexia is characterized by reading and writing deficits that persist into adulthood. However, the mechanisms underlying these deficits appear to affect several language domains negatively. The present study aims to investigate how 18 native Spanish-speaking adults with developmental dyslexia perform different language tasks in…

Levesque, Kyle C.; Breadmore, Helen L.; Deacon, S. Hélène – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
A defining feature of language lies in its capacity to represent meaning across oral and written forms. Morphemes, the smallest units of meaning in a language, are the fundamental building blocks that encode meaning, and morphological skills enable their effective use in oral and written language. Increasing evidence indicates that morphological…

Hua-Chen Wang; Andrea Salins; Lyndall Murray; Signy Wegener; Anne Castles – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Research suggests that bilinguals often have weaker vocabulary in their second language compared to that of monolinguals (e.g., Hoff, 2013). It is thus important to identify factors that may facilitate vocabulary learning for bilinguals. One suggested factor is the presence of orthography while learning new oral vocabulary. The current study aims…

Kenn Apel; Victoria S. Henbest; Yaacov Petscher – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: We examined whether diverse profiles of strengths and weaknesses would emerge when assessing different aspects of morphological awareness in first- through sixth-grade students using a recently developed standardized test, the Morphological Awareness Test for Reading and Spelling (MATRS; Apel et al., 2021). Method: Four thousand…

Jakob Åsberg Johnels; Christian Waldmann; Maria Levlin – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Phonological processing skills have been found to contribute to spelling development across different orthographies; however, less is known about the role of orthographic knowledge. This longitudinal study explores the contribution of phonological and orthographic knowledge to spelling development in a semi-transparent orthography…

Salins, Andrea; Leigh, Greg; Cupples, Linda; Castles, Anne – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Learning spoken words can be challenging for children with hearing loss who communicate orally and who are known to have weaker oral vocabulary skills than age-matched children who hear. Since vocabulary skills play a crucial role in reading and literacy acquisition, and academic success, it is important to identify effective vocabulary…

Grace Kim, Young-Suk – Written Communication, 2022
In this study, we examined burst length and its relation with working memory, attentional control, transcription skills, discourse oral language, and writing quality, using data from English-speaking children in Grade 2 (N = 177; M[subscript age] = 7.19). Results from structural equation modeling showed that burst length was related to writing…

Young-Suk Grace Kim; Alissa Wolters; Joong won Lee – Review of Educational Research, 2024
We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate reading-writing relations. Beyond the overall relation, we systematically investigated moderation of the relation as a function of linguistic grain size (word reading and spelling versus reading comprehension and written composition), measurement of reading comprehension (e.g., multiple choice,…

Ju, Zhongkui; Zhou, Yanling; delMas, Robert – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
The present study aimed to examine the contributions of two separate Pinyin skills and oral vocabulary to Chinese word reading of 70 third graders in a U.S. Mandarin Immersion program where Pinyin was introduced at Grade 3. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that Pinyin initial-final spelling--the skill to spell Chinese syllables using Pinyin…

Beyersmann, Elisabeth; Wegener, Signy; Nation, Kate; Prokupzcuk, Ayako; Wang, Hua-Chen; Castles, Anne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
It is well known that information from spoken language is integrated into reading processes, but the nature of these links and how they are acquired is less well understood. Recent evidence has suggested that predictions about the written form of newly learned spoken words are already generated prior to print exposure. We extend this work to…

Nelson, Nickola Wolf; Plante, Elena; Anderson, Michele; Applegate, E. Brooks – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This was an investigation of the dimensionality of oral and written language to test the hypothesis that a two-factor model with sound/word and sentence/discourse language levels would best fit language and literacy data for a population-based sample in the school-age years. Method: A stratified secondary data set of 1,500 participants…

Stuart, Nichola J.; Connelly, Vincent; Dockrell, Julie E. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
Verb use and the production of verb argument structure in the written texts of children in elementary school is a key stepping stone towards academic writing success that has remained relatively unexplored and is a notable gap in our understanding of writing development. To evaluate the role of verbs in the written narrative texts of children, we…
