Developmental Psychology on Reading Acquisition - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 136 Reading acquisition/developmental psychology: after Bradley and Bryant (1983)(1) study there are now hundreds of hundreds of studies in different languages exploring whether a causal link between categorizing sounds and learning to read indeed exists. Whole literatures have developed regarding how best to measure phonological awareness at different ages (e.g., Yopp, 1988)(2), whether phonological awareness should be conceptualized as a single construct or not (e.g., Anthony et al., 2003)(3), whether alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages should be expected to show similar causal links between categorizing sounds and learning to read or not (e.g., Ziegler & Goswami, 2005)(4), whether phonological awareness is the main cognitive deficit in developmental dyslexia (Snowling, 2000(5)), and to what extent difficulties with phonological awareness are inherited (Fisher & Francks, 2006)(6). >Reading acquisition/educational psychology. Slater I 141 It was realized (e.g., Treiman, 1985)(7) that sound categorization skills might arise in part from children extracting implicitly the underlying phonological structure of a language on the basis of systematic regularities in how words sounded alike. When one word sounds like another, it is a phonological “neighbor.” 1. Bradley, L., & Bryant, P. E. (1983). Categorising sounds and learning to read: A causal connection. Nature, 310, 419–421. 2.
