Writing Development: A Neglected Variable in the Consideration of Phonological Awareness.
Vernon, Sofia A.; Ferreiro, Emilia
Harvard Educational Review, v69 n4 p395-415 Win 1999

Children's ability to benefit from phonics depends on their writing level. Encouraging writing in kindergarten and first grade can stimulate analysis of spoken words and smaller units. (SK)
