Young Children's Letter-Sound Knowledge.

Dodd, Barbara; Carr, Alex

Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v34 n2 p128-37 Apr 2003

This study with 83 normally developing children (ages 4-6) compared three essential skills in early literacy, letter-sound recognition, letter-sound recall, and letter reproduction. Children performed better in letter-sound recognition than in letter-sound recall and letter reproduction. There were no performance differences due to sex or age. Socioeconomic status had significant influence on performance of all tasks. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
