Fricke, Silke; Bowyer-Crane, Claudine; Haley, Allyson J.; Hulme, Charles; Snowling, Margaret J. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2013
Background: Oral language skills in the preschool and early school years are critical to educational success and provide the foundations for the later development of reading comprehension. Methods: In a randomized controlled trial, 180 children from 15 UK nursery schools ("n" = 12 from each setting; M[subscript age] = 4;0) were randomly…

Strong, Gemma K.; Torgerson, Carole J.; Torgerson, David; Hulme, Charles – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2011
Background: Fast ForWord is a suite of computer-based language intervention programs designed to improve children's reading and oral language skills. The programs are based on the hypothesis that oral language difficulties often arise from a rapid auditory temporal processing deficit that compromises the development of phonological…

Bowyer-Crane, Claudine; Snowling, Margaret J.; Duff, Fiona; Hulme, Charles – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2011
The present paper reports a secondary analysis of data from a published randomised controlled trial. This paper compares the outcomes of children with specific language impairment (SLI) and those with a general delay (GD) following participation in either an oral language intervention or a phonology with reading intervention. Sixty-eight children…

Duff, Fiona J.; Fieldsend, Elizabeth; Bowyer-Crane, Claudine; Hulme, Charles; Smith, Glynnis; Gibbs, Simon; Snowling, Margaret J. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2008
Interventions combining phonically based reading instruction with phonological training are generally effective for children with reading (decoding) difficulties. However, a minority of children respond poorly to such interventions. This study explored the characteristics of children who showed poor response to reading intervention and aimed to…

Snowling, Margaret J.; Hulme, Charles – London Review of Education, 2006
The paper outlines a framework for the development of reading that shows it is heavily dependent upon spoken language processes. Within this view, reading difficulties can follow from difficulties with speech processing (decoding problems) or from broader language processing impairments (comprehension problems). The paper describes the literacy…
