Investigating the Boundaries of Reading Units across Ages and Reading Levels.
Cunningham, Thomas F.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v45 n2 p175-208 Apr 1988
Four experiments examined the spelling capability of students in grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and college. Results suggested that reading unit size increases with age and reading ability. Younger children, like adults, unitize common words, and unitization of less common words increases as word configurations become more familiar. (RWB)
