The Reading Miscue Inventory was used to analyze oral reading…

Betts, Emmett Albert – 1976
Controversies over the best way to teach word recognition in beginning reading instruction have raged for generations. The goal has been to acquire automatic skills for recoding written language into speech.

When it is determined, as a result of testing or informal diagnosis, that a student is deficient in a particular reading skill, this taxonomy can help teacher and student together to select from a choice of materials, at the appropriate reading level, to correct the deficiency. The taxonomy is divided into five basic categories: beginning reading,…

Zook, Kizzie Fay – 1970
The three main purposes for this study were (1) to determine what phonic generalizations were being taught in grade 1 in four of the leading basal reading series; (2) to determine the degree of utility of each generalization within the framework of the grade in which it was presented, after the initial presentation; and (3) to set up a comparative…

Fletcher, J. D. – 1973
The investigation was concerned with the class of grapheme-phoneme correspondence called spelling patterns and was intended to broaden empirical understanding of grapheme-phoneme correspondences used in teaching initial reading.

Cronnell, Bruce – 1971
A lexicon of approximately 9,000 words classified into levels from kindergarten to grade 3 was compiled as a base for studying the spelling-to-sound correspondences needed in beginning reading. The spelling-to-sound correspondences were established for 69 grapheme units, resulting in a total of 166 correspondences for the one- and Two-syllable…

Ehri, Linnea; Wilce, Lee S. – Reading Research Quarterly, 1987
Concludes that spelling-trained kindergarten children learned to read a set of words more effectively than controls. Argues that their greater success was not because they had learned to sound out and blend words, but rather because they had become better at phonetic cue reading. (FL)

The purpose for teaching the sound/symbol relationship first in isolation, without key words or pictures (explicitly), is to give…
