Decoding and Comprehension Skills in Turkish and English: Effects of the Regularity of Grapheme-Phoneme Correspondences.
Oney, Banu; Goldman, Susan R.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n4 p557-68 Aug 1984
Decoding and comprehension skills were assessed for Turkish and American first and third graders. Twenty students in each group were tested on a pseudoword vocalization task and on a paragraph comprehension task. The data suggest that languages with more regular letter-sound correspondences lead to faster acquisition of decoding skills. (Author/BS)
