Are poor Chinese text comprehenders also poor in written composition
Differential importance of language components in determining secondary school students’ Chinese reading literacy performance
The present study examined pedagogic components of Chinese reading literacy in a representative sample of 1164 Grades 7, 9 and 11 Chinese students (mean age of 15 years) from 11 secondary schools in Hong Kong with each student tested for about 2.5 hours. Multiple group confirmatory factor analyses showed that across the three grade levels, the eight reading literacy constructs (Essay Writing, Morphological Compounding, Correction of Characters an…
Grammaticality judgment of Chinese and English sentences by native speakers of alphasyllabary
A group of 118 sixteen-year-old students of ethnic Indian and Pakistani origin, learning school Chinese, judged on-line the grammaticality of 18 pairs of sentences in Chinese and English. We hypothesized: (a) The students might not perform worse in simple Chinese sentence processing as compared with equivalent English sentences. (b) There would be an overall school effect as proxy for learning experience. (c) Grammatically correct sentences would…
Enhancing orthographic knowledge helps spelling production in eight-year-old Chinese children at risk for dyslexia

Developmental dyslexia as developmental and linguistic variation
Effects of consistency and adequacy of language information on understanding elementary mathematics word problems
Exploring reading-spelling connection as locus of dyslexia in Chinese
Phonological coding and children’s spelling
Developmental dyslexia revisited and projected
The effect of systematic training in elaboration on word meaning and prose comprehension in poor readers
Productive knowledge of derivational rules in poor readers
A componential approach to understanding reading and its difficulties in preadolescent readers
Automatic Processing of Morphemic Orthography By Mature Readers
The present study involving two converging experiments tested the hypothesis that rapid, automatic processing of lexical items in a morphemic orthography (Chinese) is necessary, though not sufficient, for reading comprehension. The subjects consisted of 23 skilled adult comprehenders contrasted with 23 less skilled comprehenders. Experiment 1 was a vocalization latency task with 80 open class Chinese characters selected according to printed frequ…
What does accessing a morphemic script tell us about reading and reading disorders in an alphabetic script
Laterality and Reading Proficiency in Children
THIS PAPER DISCUSSES SOME CURRENT concepts of the lateralityreading relationship. An overview of Orton's hypotheses of cerebral dominance and strephosymbolia is taken as a starting point in the discussion. Both visual half-field and dichotic listening studies as direct, empirical tests of laterality are discussed. Some methodological and conceptual problems in dichotic listening are pointed out. The laterality-reading relationship is best interpr…
