Sensitivity to onset and rhyme does predict young children's reading: a comment on Muter, Hulme, Snowling, and Taylor (1997)
Article Abstract:
Mixed views have been expressed since the 1970s about the link between preschool children's achievement in various phonological tasks and their subsequent success in learning to read and spell. Most observers believe that a link does exist and is significant. However, there is still disagreement about the form of this link. Some feel that young children's reading is predicted by measures of phoneme segmentation, rather than by measures of rhyme. It is possible to disagree with this view, claiming that success in reading and spelling is determined by both sensitivity to onset and rhyme and by awareness of phonemes.

Transfer effects across contextual and linguistic boundaries: evidence from poor readers
Article Abstract:
Research undertaken among children with poor reading abilities indicates that practice in word recognition in one context benefits the identification of the same words encountered in a different context. When practice in a different context leads to words being read more fluently, this word recognition fluency is linked with improved comprehension of the transfer story. It is recommended that children should not be requested to read texts unless they are familiar with between 80% and 90% of the words on a page. Message processing is inhibited if the child has difficulties with print recognition.

Developing normal reading skills: aspects of the visual processes underlying word recognition

An analysis of visual word recognition performance of children from first grade to fifth grade is presented. Regarding reading as an interactive process, the signature of various component processes of reading should be inscribed in the reader's visual behaviour.
