Children's Reading Processes Revealed by Pronunciation Latencies and Errors
Jorm, A. F.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 69, 2, 166-71, Apr 77
This experiment attempted to discover under what circumstances, if any, children use whole words, syllables, letter clusters, or letters as units during reading. The results indicated that syllables and letter clusters are probably not processed as units for any type of word, but there was slight evidence that letters may function as units, particularly for pseudowords.
