Phonological Awareness Tasks as Predictors of Decoding Ability: Beyond Segmentation.

Lenchner, Orna; And Others

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v23 n4 p240-47 Apr 1990

Performance by 38 elementary reading-disabled and above-average readers was compared on a series of 6 measures of phonological awareness, including tests of ability to segment, blend, and manipulate phonemes. Results suggest that tasks requiring blending and manipulation of phonemes, in addition to segmentation, may predict decoding ability best. (Author/PB)
