Visual memory and phonological skills in reading and spelling backwardness

Visual memory and phonological skills in reading and spelling backwardness A large group backward readers remembered visually presented unfamiliar written words as well as normal readers at the same reading level. This was in sharp contrast to the same group of backward readers' relative difficulties with a phonological task involving detection of rhyme and alliteration. Although the backward readers were as competent as normal readers in the visual memory task, there was a strong relationship between success in this task and reading/spelling skills in both groups. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Psychological Research Springer Journals

Abstract

A large group backward readers remembered visually presented unfamiliar written words as well as normal readers at the same reading level. This was in sharp contrast to the same group of backward readers' relative difficulties with a phonological task involving detection of rhyme and alliteration. Although the backward readers were as competent as normal readers in the visual memory task, there was a strong relationship between success in this task and reading/spelling skills in both groups.
