Relations Between Reading and Speech Manifest Universal Phonological Principle
All writing systems represent speech, providing a means for recording each word of a message. This is achieved by symbolizing the phonological forms of spoken words as well as information conveying grammar and meaning. Alphabetic systems represent the segmental phonology by providing symbols for individual consonants and vowels; some also convey morphological units. Other systems represent syllables (typically CVs) or morphosyllables. In all case…
Carol A. Fowler's Perspective on Language by Eye
This article considers highlights of Carol Fowler's development as a scientist against the background of major developments in the fields of ecological psychology, speech research, and the psychology of language. Beginning from her graduate student years, the focus is on those aspects of Fowler's research that pertain most directly to the relations between speech and reading
Seeking a reading machine for the blind and discovering the speech code
A machine that can read printed material to the blind became a priority at the end of World War II with the appointment of a U.S. Government committee to instigate research on sensory aids to improve the lot of blinded veterans. The committee chose Haskins Laboratories to lead a multisite research program. Initially, Haskins researchers overestimated the capacities of users to learn an acoustic code based on the letters of a text, resulting in un…

Comprehension of Temporal Terms By Good and Poor Readers
Poor beginning readers often have difficulty comprehending spoken sentences with complex syntactic structures. This study attempts to identify the reasons for this difficulty. Second-grade good and poor readers were tested for comprehension of spoken sentences containing the temporal terms before and after. Processing load was varied systematically while holding syntax constant in an effort to determine whether processing factors contribute to po…
Children's Sensitivity to Factors Influencing Vowel Reading
TO DISAMBIGUATE vowel assignment to a vowel digraph in a word, readers must take into account aspects of the word context beyond the vowel digraph units themselves. The present study examined the development of young readers' use of this context in two experiments. First-, third-, and fifth-grade children read aloud highand low-frequency words containing vowel digraph units with variant and invariant pronunciations (Experiment 1); the third-grade…
The association between comprehension of spoken sentences and early reading ability
When repeating spoken sentences, children who are good readers tend to be more accurate than poor readers because they are able to make more effective use of phonetic representation in the service of working memory (Mann, Liberman & Shankweiler 1980). This study of good and poor readers in the third grade has assessed both the repetition and comprehension of relative-clause sentences to explore more fully the association between early reading abi…
Apprehending Spelling Patterns for Vowels
This study investigates the extent to which children and adults are responsive to orthographic regularities in their readings of nonsense sysllables that conform to the phonology and spelling conventions of English words. College students and children of the second, third and fourth years of elementary school read a list of nonsense monosyllables in which most common vowel spellings were presented. Their vowel responses were analyzed according to…
On Interpreting the Error Pattern in Beginning Reading
The error pattern in beginning reading was examined from two perspectives: the location of a misread consonant or vowel segment within the syllable and the phonetic relationship between a consonant or vowel and a misreading of it. The first analysis showed, as earlier work had led us to expect, that consonants in the final position in a syllable were more frequently misread than initial consonants. In contrast, the position of a vowel within the …
