There appears to be a close and probably causal relationship between early variations in phoneme skills and later reading skills in typically developing children, though the pattern in children with Down Syndrome is less clear. We present the results of a 2-year longitudinal study of 49 children with Down Syndrome (DS) and 61 typically developing…

Moll, Kristina; Loff, Ariana; Snowling, Margaret J. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2013
The study investigated cognitive deficits associated with dyslexia and familial risk of dyslexia (endophenotypes) by comparing children from families with and without a history of dyslexia. Eighty-eight school-aged children were assessed on measures of phonology, language and rapid automatized naming. A series of regression analyses with family…

Nag, Sonali; Snowling, Margaret J. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2011
The alphasyllabary of Kannada comprises more than 400 symbols called "akshara"; each symbol is visuo-spatially complex with a consistent representation at the dual levels of the syllable and the phoneme. We investigated reading difficulties in Kannada among 8-12 year old children by conducting a between-groups followed by a case series…

Burgoyne, Kelly; Duff, Fiona J.; Clarke, Paula J.; Buckley, Sue; Snowling, Margaret J.; Hulme, Charles – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2012
Background: This study evaluates the effects of a language and literacy intervention for children with Down syndrome. Methods: Teaching assistants (TAs) were trained to deliver a reading and language intervention to children in individual daily 40-min sessions. We used a waiting list control design, in which half the sample received the…

Larkin, Rebecca F.; Snowling, Margaret J. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2008
Background: Bishop and Snowling (2004) proposed that children with language impairments (LI) and children with reading difficulties (RD) can be considered to be on a (phonological) continuum of risk for reading impairments. Aims: The first aim of the present study was to address two specific hypotheses about the relationship between RD and LI. The…

Hulme, Charles; Goetz, Kristina; Gooch, Debbie; Adams, John; Snowling, Margaret J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
We report two studies examining the relations among three paired-associate learning (PAL) tasks (visual-visual, verbal-verbal, and visual-verbal), phoneme deletion, and single-word and nonword reading ability. Correlations between the PAL tasks and reading were strongest for the visual-verbal task. Path analyses showed that both phoneme deletion…

Hatcher, Peter J.; Goetz, Kristina; Snowling, Margaret J.; Hulme, Charles; Gibbs, Simon; Smith, Glynnis – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2006
Background: It is widely recognized that effective interventions for poor reading involve training in phoneme awareness and letter-sound knowledge, linked in the context of reading books. From the applied perspective, it is important to gather data on the effectiveness of different forms of implementation of literacy support within this framework.…

Peer reviewedNathan, Liz; Stackhouse, Joy; Goulandris, Nata; Snowling, Margaret J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2004
This article presents a longitudinal study of the early literacy development of 47 children with speech difficulties from ages 4 to 7 years. Of these children, 19 with specific speech difficulties were compared with 19 children with speech and language difficulties and 19 normally developing controls. The risk of literacy difficulties was greater…

Muter, Valerie; Hulme, Charles; Snowling, Margaret J.; Stevenson, Jim – Developmental Psychology, 2004
The authors present the results of a 2-year longitudinal study of 90 British children beginning at school entry when they were 4 years 9 months old (range = 4 years 2 months to 5 years 2 months). The relationships among early phonological skills, letter knowledge, grammatical skills, and vocabulary knowledge were investigated as predictors of word…

Nikolopoulos, Dimitris; Goulandris, Nata; Hulme, Charles; Snowling, Margaret J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2006
We conducted a longitudinal study examining the role of phonemic awareness, phonological processing, and grammatical skills in the development of reading and spelling abilities in Greek. A battery of cognitive, linguistic, and literacy tasks was administered to 131 primary school children (65 7-year-olds and 66 9-year-olds) and was repeated in the…

Patel, Tanya K.; Snowling, Margaret J.; de Jong, Peter F. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2004
The authors report on a cross-linguistic investigation of the reading skills of 6- to 11-year-old children of English (an opaque orthography) and of Dutch (a transparent orthography). Dutch children were relatively more accurate and faster than English children of the same age at reading words and nonwords and also faster to complete phoneme…

Hatcher, Peter J.; Hulme, Charles; Snowling, Margaret J. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2004
Background: We evaluate the effectiveness of three theoretically motivated programmes for the teaching of reading to four-year-old children. Method: Four hundred and ten children, of pre-kindergarten age, in 20 UK Reception-year classrooms were divided into four matched groups and randomly assigned to one of three experimental teaching conditions,…
