On the Interaction between Phonological Awareness and Reading Acquisition: It's a Two-Way Street.

Bentin, Shlomo; Leshem, Haya

Annals of Dyslexia, v43 p125-48 1993

This study of 508 Israeli kindergarten children learning to read Hebrew found that phonemic segmentation skills and reading acquisition are highly interrelated. Learning to read was the main factor accounting for the sharp increase in phonological awareness between six and seven years of age, and reading acquisition was facilitated by prior training in phonological awareness.
