The Acquisition of Grapheme-Phoneme Correspondences in a Word Learning Task.

Fox, Barbara; Baker, Robin

Reading Psychology, v1 n3 p156-64 Sum 1980

A study conducted with 20 good and 20 poor first-grade readers suggested that the ability to induce grapheme-phoneme relationships was much more strongly related to reading ability than was receptive vocabulary. Good readers appeared to apply a principled solution to a word-learning task, while poor readers used an associative solution. (Author/GT)
