Segmentation, Not Rhyming, Predicts Early Progress in Learning to Read.
Muter, Valerie; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v65 n3 p370-96 Jun 1997
Followed beginning readers to examine phonological skill influences. Found segmentation strongly correlated with attainment in reading and spelling at end of first year. Also found that letter name knowledge predicted both reading and spelling skill and showed interactive effect with segmentation. Finally, found that by end of second year, rhyming had started to exert a predictive effect on spelling. (EV)
