| Abstract | A consideration of the relationship between speech and reading in connection with reading readiness. A number of differences between the two are discussed, including: (1) differences in level of difficulty between listening and reading; (2) differences in the form in which information is presented; and (3) differences in limitation of possible sounds and written symbols. These differences indicate that the two are not parallel processes. Primary linguistic activities consist of producing, perceiving, understanding, rehearsing, or recalling speech. It may be noticed that writing is not among these and it is suggested that it is a secondary activity. A degree of linguistic awareness is necessary for reading readiness and reading is dependent on spoken language. |
