The Development of Phonological Awareness in Preschool Children.
Carroll, Julia M.; Snowling, Margaret J.; Hulme, Charles; Stevenson, Jim
Developmental Psychology, v39 n5 p913-23 Sep 2003
At 3 points in time over a 12-month period, this short-term longitudinal study examined 67 preschoolers' syllable, rime, and phoneme awareness; speech and language skills; and letter knowledge. Findings indicated that rime skills developed earlier than phoneme skills. Structural equation models showed that articulatory skills and syllable and rime awareness predicted later phoneme awareness. (Author/KB)
