The Role of Letter Names in Children's Learning of Phoneme-Grapheme Relations.

Treiman, Rebecca; And Others

Applied Psycholinguistics, v15 n1 p97-122 Mar 1994

Three studies examined preschoolers' and kindergartners' learning of correspondences between phonemes and graphemes. Findings suggest that children use their knowledge of letter names and their phonological segmentation skills rather than memorizing these links in a rote, paired-associate manner. (Contains 26 references.) (Author/LB)
