There is intense public interest in questions surrounding how children learn to read and how
they can best be taught. Research in psychological science has provided answers to many …

A defining feature of language lies in its capacity to represent meaning across oral and
written forms. Morphemes, the smallest units of meaning in a language, are the fundamental …

Words Their Way's developmentally-driven, hands-on instructional approach has been a
phenomenon in word study, providing a practical way to study words with students. The keys …

In the last decade, reading research has seen a paradigmatic shift. A new wave of
computational models of orthographic processing that offer various forms of noisy position or …

In the present theoretical note we examine how different learning constraints, thought to be
involved in optimizing the map** of print to meaning during reading acquisition, might …

Morphology is a major organising principle of English and other alphabetic languages, but
has been largely neglected in theories of reading acquisition. In this article, I develop the …

We describe a functional architecture for word recognition that focuses on how orthographic
and phonological information cooperates in initial form‐based processing of printed word …

The last 40 years have witnessed a growing interest in the mechanisms underlying the
visual identification of complex words. A large amount of experimental data has been …

In this study we present a novel set of discrimination-based indicators of language
processing derived from Naive Discriminative Learning (ndl) theory. We compare the …

There are a number of reasons why knowledge of morphology should be related to literacy
outcomes:(a) English is fundamentally morphophonemic in nature,(b) various theories give …
