The authors report a systematic meta-analytic review of the relationships among 3 of the
most widely studied measures of children's phonological skills (phonemic awareness, rime …

Evidence that rapid naming skill is associated with reading ability has become increasingly
prevalent in recent years. However, there is considerable variation in the literature …

Although phonological awareness (PA) and rapid automatized naming (RAN) are confirmed
as early predictors of reading in a large number of orthographies, it is as yet unclear whether …

Previous studies have shown that phoneme awareness, letter-sound knowledge, rapid

This paper addresses the question whether the cognitive underpinnings of reading and
spelling are universal or language/orthography-specific. We analyzed concurrent …

Background: The relationship between phoneme awareness, rapid automatized naming
(RAN), verbal short‐term/working memory (ST/WM) and diagnostic category is investigated …

Alphabetic orthographies differ in the transparency of their letter-sound mappings, with
English orthography being less transparent than other alphabetic scripts. The outlier status …

All alphabetic orthographies use letters in printed words to represent the phonemes in

In this paper, we survey current evidence on cognitive precursors of reading in different
orthographies by reviewing studies with a cross-linguistic research design. Graphic symbol …
