Assessing Print Exposure and Orthographic Processing Skill in Children: A Quick Measure of Reading Experience.
Cunningham, Anne E.; Stanovich, Keith E.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n4 p733-40 Dec 1990
A study of 51 third and 47 fourth graders using a new measure of exposure to print, the Title Recognition Test, established that orthographic processing ability can account for variance in word recognition skill after variance resulting from phonological processing is removed. The importance of print exposure is discussed. (SLD)
