The Role of Phonological Processing in Early Reading Ability: What We Can Learn from Chinese.

Hu, Chieh-Fang; Catts, Hugh W.

Scientific Studies of Reading, v2 n1 p55-79 1998

Administers three measures of phonological processing to Chinese first graders. Notes that earlier research indicates a strong relationship between children's phonological processing skills and early reading ability in alphabetic orthography. Finds that this relationship is not specific to reading an alphabetic orthography--the relationship extends to a logographic orthography as well. (RS)
