Two groups of first graders (n=63) participated in a 10-day intervention study in which they were instructed in the spelling of five final letter patterns in monosyllabic words.

Speech Perception and Speech Production as Indicators of Reading Difficulty.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Post, Yolanda V.; Foorman, Barbara R.; Hiscock, Merrill – Annals of Dyslexia, 1997
To investigate the relationship between reading accuracy and speech processing, 20 skilled readers (grades 2-3) were compared with 20 less skilled readers on a speech perception and production task. The vowel phonemes were less securely represented in the perceptual systems of the less skilled readers than were consonant phonemes. (Author/CR)
