A Longitudinal Study of Word Processing by First-Grade Children.
Guttentag, Robert E.; Haith, Marshall M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n5 p701-05 Oct 1980
Twelve first-grade children were tested on word-reading and automaticity of letter and word processing. Word-reading speed increased steadily during the year. Apparently, their ability to process letters automatically was acquired prior to the ability to read words rapidly and accurately. (Author/CP)
