Bidirectional Relations of Phonological Sensitivity and Prereading Abilities: Evidence from a Preschool Sample.
Burgess, Stephen R.; Lonigan, Christopher J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v70 n2 p117-41 Aug 1998
Examined the relationship between phonological sensitivity and letter knowledge in 4- and 5-year-olds in a one-year longitudinal study. Found that phonological sensitivity predicted letter knowledge growth, and letter knowledge predicted phonological sensitivity growth, when controlling for age and oral language abilities. Also found that the reciprocal relationship between reading and phonological sensitivity is present prior to formal reading instruction. (Author)
