Effects of Grade, Syllable Segmentation, and Speed of Presentation on Children's Word-Blending Ability.

McClure, Karen K.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v88 n4 p670-81 Dec 1996

Subsyllabic awareness was investigated with a word synthesis task completed by 96 children in kindergarten, first, and second grade. Evidence supports a developmental trend that shows performance improved with each grade. Children blended speech segments more easily when the segments were the syllable onset and rime. (SLD)
