Calhoon, J. Anne; Leslie, Lauren
Journal of Literacy Research, v34 n1 p39-58 Mar 2002
Finds in year 1, children showed effects of neighborhood size in high frequency words read in stories and in low frequency words read in lists and stories; in year 2, rimes from large neighborhoods were read more accurately than rimes from other neighborhoods; and by year 3, effects on low-frequency words continued, but not for high-frequency words.
