Abstract The goal of this study was to examine the relation morphological skills with reading fluency in 2nd grade Greek-speaking children and if phonological awareness vocabulary mediate their relation. sample consisted 105 students (46 males; Mage = 7.83 years, SD 3.31). Morphological assessed four tasks, examining inflectional derivational morphology both at an epilinguistic metalinguistic l...

Many studies have reported the necessity of phonological awareness to become a skilled reader, citing barriers to phonological information as the cause for reading difficulties experienced by deaf individuals. In contrast, other research suggests that phonological awareness is not necessary for reading acquisition, citing the importance of higher levels of syntactic and semantic knowledge. To d...

For adults with low literacy skills, the role of phonology in reading has been fairly well researched, but less is known about the role of morphology in reading. We investigated the contribution of morphological awareness to word reading and reading comprehension and found that for adults with low literacy skills and skilled readers, morphological awareness explained unique variance in word rea...
