Nation, Kate; Hulme, Charles – Developmental Science, 2011
Individual differences in nonword repetition are associated with language and literacy development, but few studies have considered the extent to which learning to read influences phonological skills as indexed by nonword repetition performance. We explored this question using a latent variable longitudinal design. Reading, oral language and…

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…
