Gonzalez, Juan E. Jimenez; Gonzalez, Maria del Rosario Ortiz
Spanish Journal of Psychology, v3 n1 p37-46 May 2000
Investigated metalinguistic awareness in learning to read Spanish, focusing on print awareness, phonological awareness, decoding, and reading comprehension. Studies of 136 preliterate Spanish children indicated a relationship between phonological awareness and reading and revealed the importance of syllabic awareness in developing other levels of phonological awareness. A relationship between print awareness and reading comprehension was found. (SM)
