Segmentation Does Predict Early Progress in Learning to Read Better Than Rhyme: A Reply to Bryant.
Hulme, Charles; Muter, Valerie; Snowling, Margaret
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v71 n1 p39-44 Oct 1998
Presents data showing that the Rhyming Detection instructions do not have the effect claimed by Bryant (1998). Argues that Bryant's new measure reflects children's global sensitivity to sound similarities between different words and provides no convincing support for his conclusion. Concludes that their evidence supports the view that phonemic segmentation predicts early reading skills better than onset-rime sensitivity. (Author)
