The Beginning of Decoding.

Gough, Philip B.

Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v5 n2 p181-92 Jun 1993

Submits that children recognize their first words in a different way than they later decode. Compares the hypothesis that sight words are recognized as wholes to the hypothesis that sight words are recognized as parts. Finds support for the idea that first words are recognized by "selective association." (BS)
