The Development of Orthographic Rimes as Units of Word Recognition.

Bowey, Judith; Hansen, Julie

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v58 n3 p465-88 Dec 1994

The results suggest that the size of the orthographic rime frequency effect reflects the operation of two factors: vocabulary size and grapheme-phoneme conversion skill. (SW)
