Aalto, Eija; Saaristo-Helin, Katri; Stolt, Suvi – First Language, 2023
The association between pre-reading skills and phonological production skills has been shown at school age, but less is known about how these skills interact at an earlier age when they are just developing. The focus was to investigate whether a connection between pre-reading skills (letter naming, rapid automatised naming; RAN) and phonological…

Hamalainen, J. A.; Leppanen, P. H. T.; Eklund, K.; Thomson, J.; Richardson, U.; Guttorm, T. K.; Witton, C.; Poikkeus, A. -M.; Goswami, U.; Lyytinen, H. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2009
Our goal was to investigate auditory and speech perception abilities of children with and without reading disability (RD) and associations between auditory, speech perception, reading, and spelling skills. Participants were 9-year-old, Finnish-speaking children with RD (N = 30) and typically reading children (N = 30). Results showed significant…
