How Children Get Meaning from Printed Words
Barron, Roderick W.; Baron, Jonathan
Child Development, 48, 2, 587-594, Jun 77
Children in grades 1 to 8 were given picture-word pairs and were asked to say whether the items rhymed, in a sound task, or "went together," in a meaning task. It was concluded that children can get meaning from printed words without the use of an intermediate phonemic code. (Author/JMB)
