Rhyming ability, phoneme identity, letter-sound knowledge, and the use of orthographic analogy by prereaders
… rhyming ability in preschool children and later reading achievement. The use of orthographic analogy, the ability to make inferences from similarities in spelling to similarities in sound, was proposed as the mechanism to explain this relationship (Goswami & Bryant, 1990). Literature was …

Capturing reading strategies in young children
Traditional models of children’s reading, based on fixed invariant stages, have proved less than adequate in explaining the flexibility in which children approach the task of learning to read. One way to examine emergent reading is to focus on the child’s strategy use as a discrete measure of early …
