Beach, Sara Ann – 1990
A study examined the construct and predictive validity of phonemic awareness to determine the strength of the relationship between phonemic segmentation and auditory abstraction and to determine which of the two measures provided the best prediction of word recognition ability. Data were gathered from 65 first-grade children from 2 public…

Adams, Harriet R. – 1978
The purpose of this study was to determine if the relationships among alphabet skills, auditory discrimination, and visual discrimination for five-year-olds prior to kindergarten were similar to those found in studies of subskills of first grade children. The sample consisted of 23 middle class nursery school children between the ages of 5.1 and…

McGuinness, Diane; And Others – Reading Research Quarterly, 1995
Trains 94 first graders using a structured phonological reading method emphasizing English phonology and phoneme/grapheme correspondence. Compares to a control group who received a whole-language-plus-phonics approach. Notes that children in all groups improved their phonological awareness by the same amount. Concludes that phonological awareness…

Fowler, Dorothy. – Educational Leadership, 1998
A first-grade teacher explains how she uses the whole-part-whole reading model with 15 youngsters. Rereading allows students to practice recently learned skills and strategies, while developing fluency and comprehension. Other exercises include reading aloud in pairs, deciphering the daily schedule, discussions of syllable and sound similarities,…

Allor, Jill Howard; Fuchs, Douglas; Mathes, Patricia G. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2001
A study compared the effectiveness of phonemic awareness and decoding training for 58 first graders with and without severe lexical retrieval weaknesses. All students demonstrated poor phonemic awareness. Students with relatively strong lexical retrieval skills responded more favorably to beginning reading instruction than did students with weak…

Fletcher-Flinn, Claire M.; Shankweile, Donald; Frost, Stephen J. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2004
The Discrepancy Hypothesis posits that children early in the acquisition process read visually (holistically) and spell phonologically. This claim was examined and rejected. We investigated reading and spelling in Grade 1 and Grade 2 children using controlled non-word and word materials with a variety of orthographic patterns. While reading and…

Swajkowski, Cynthia – 1985
An experiment was developed under the assumption that learning about word families could help ease the introduction of short vowels to first grade students. The hypothesis was that teaching the word families would increase students' reading vocabulary, in contrast to the learning acquired by students taught only phonetic analysis. The control…

Fletcher, Sharon; Knafle, June D. – 1981
A study examined high and low achieving readers' performance with six phonic generalizations, using real and nonsense words. Eighteen first and second grade students were divided into higher level and lower level readers on the basis of their scores on the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. Three real words and four nonsense words for each of the six…

Bernazza, Ann Marie; And Others – 1969
Two classes of randomly assigned first graders were given an experimental form of a reading-typewriting program with one typewriter for each child. The program consisted of 25 workbook lessons, each relating to a single phoneme. The computer was used as a program design tool to determine an optimal teaching order of phonemic elements. The children…
