Phonological Awareness and Written Word Decoding.

Swank, Linda K.; Catts, Hugh W.

Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v25 n1 p9-14 Jan 1994

This study, involving 54 first-grade children, found that correlations between decoding and phonological awareness were generally much higher than correlations obtained for measures of decoding and verbal and nonverbal intelligence. Several phonological awareness tasks identified good and poor decoders, with approximately 80-90% accuracy. (DB)
