| Abstract | The developmental progression of awareness of onset/rime & syllable prior to phonological awareness as observed & reported by Rebecca Treiman & Andrea Zukowski ("Levels of Phonological Awareness," abstracted in this section) is examined in more detail. The possibility is explored that this progression may extend beyond phonological awareness to reflect more fundamental changes in phonological representation - particularly the storage of lexical items. Recent research on early phonological development is reviewed & shown to provide a challenge to the view that metacognitive task requirements underlie children's difficulty in achieving phoneme awareness. This research suggests that lexical representation becomes increasingly segmental between ages one & eight. Questions of causality are examined, & implications for the study of reading disability are considered. |
