Phonological Awareness and Reading: A Chicken and Egg Problem?
Torneus, Margit
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n6 p1346-58 Dec 1984
The causal relationship between metaphonological skills (sound blending and segmentation) and reading/spelling was investigated in two studies of first graders. One tested causal models using data from a longitudinal study of 46 dyslexics and 44 control children. The other studied the effects of metaphonological training versus general language activities.
