Segmentation does predict early progress in learning to read better than rhyme: a reply to Bryant

Article Abstract:

It is clear that there are strong links between children's phonological abilities and the processes associated with learning to read. However, there is still disagreement about whether onset-rime or phonemic skills are more closely associated with learning to read. Recent research seems to indicate that phonemic skills are better predictors of reading than rhyme skills. However, this does not mean that rime awareness does not also play its part in the process of learning to read.

Segmentation, not rhyming, predicts early progress in learning to read

Article Abstract:

The results of a longitudinal study of children in the first two years of learning to read show that there is a clear division between segmentation and rhyming skills. Segmentation is surprisingly identified to be the more important phonological skill because it is closely related to the development of reading and developing skills. Early rhyming skills contrary to popular belief is not a factor in early reading skills.

Phenome awareness is a key component of alphabetic literacy skills in consistent and inconsistent orthographies: Evidence from Czech and English children

Article Abstract:

Two studies were carried out to investigate the importance of phoneme awareness relative to other predictors in the development of reading and spelling among children learning a consistent orthography (Czech) and an inconsistent orthography (English). Results from these studies show that phenome awareness appeared to be the core component skill of alphabetic literacy.
