Predicting Delay in Reading Achievement in a Highly Transparent Language.
Holopainen, Leena; Ahonen, Timo; Lyytinen, Heikki
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v34 n5 p401-13 Sep-Oct 2001
Ninety-one Finnish preschoolers were assessed prior to receiving formal reading instruction. Verbal and nonverbal measures were used as predictors for the time of instruction required to accurately decode pseudowords. Phonological awareness differentiated precocious decoders from early decoders and ordinary decoders. Late decoders differed from others in visual analogical reasoning. (Contains references.)
