The Role of Vowel Signs in Hebrew: Beyond Word Recognition.
Shimron, Joseph
Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v11 n4 p301-19 Aug 1999
Examines contributions of vowel signs in reading Hebrew on memory and comprehension. Finds that vowel signs speeded up recognition memory of words in third graders, and improved recall of words printed in the context of mixed lists in sixth graders. Finds also that vowelization improved memory and comprehension of some prose texts. (RS)
