Peer reviewedSnowling, Margaret J.; Hulme, Charles; Mercer, Robin C. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2002
Reports on three studies comparing the reading and phonological skills of children with Down Syndrome (DS) and younger normally developing children of similar reading level. Notes that for children with DS, letter-sound knowledge did not predict reading. Suggests that children with DS do not possess full phoneme awareness. (PM)
