Abstract

  1. 11 4-yr-olds were taught to read with Book 1 of Fuller's Ball-Stick-Bird System, while 12 control Ss received reading-related activities with Book 1. Before and after the intervention phase of 13 wks, all Ss were given a task which involved remembering a sequence of picture items (short-term memory functioning) and a task which involved sensitivity to the syllabic and phonemic segments of spoken words (metalinguistic functioning). There was a reciprocal relationship between reading instruction and metalinguistic functioning but not between reading instruction and short-term memory functioning. Theoretical implications for the concept of reading readiness and several practical implications for the teaching and assessment of beginning reading are discussed.
