Speech Perception and Speech Production as Indicators of Reading Difficulty.

Post, Yolanda V.; Foorman, Barbara R.; Hiscock, Merrill

Annals of Dyslexia, v47 p3-27 1997

To investigate the relationship between reading accuracy and speech processing, 20 skilled readers (grades 2-3) were compared with 20 less skilled readers on a speech perception and production task. The vowel phonemes were less securely represented in the perceptual systems of the less skilled readers than were consonant phonemes. (Author/CR)
