Abstract Learning to read and write depends on abilities that are language related by that go beyond the ordinary abilities required for speaking and listening. Research has shown that the success of learners, whether they are children or adults, is related to the degree to which they are aware of the underlying phonological structure of words. Poor readers are often unable to segment words into their phonological constituents and may have other phonological deficiencies as well. Their difficulties in naming objects and in comprehending sentences, for example, may also stem from a basic problem in the phonological domain.
