Growth Modeling of Phonological Awareness.
McBride-Chang, Catherine; Wagner, Richard K.; Chang, Lei
Journal of Educational Psychology, v89 n4 p621-30 Dec 1997
In a longitudinal study following prekindergarten children through first grade, the variables verbal memory, IQ, and speech perception together predicted 26% of growth in and 42% of the final status of phonological awareness. Results also suggest that the effect of speech perception on word decoding is mediated by phonological processing ability. (SLD)
