Overgeneralization in Learning to Read
TL;DR: Differential understanding of the structure of letter-to-sound correspondences, particularly of vowel to sound patterns, is proposed to be the primary source of disparity in reading performance among beginning readers.

Abstract: An acquisition model of decoding is proposed to explain the kinds of errors children make as they try to read. The model is based on data gathered from pronunciation errors of words presented in isolation. An analysis of the errors reveals that the kinds of errors made vary with reading competency. Less able readers make errors that appear to reflect reliance on a one-to-one correspondence between single letters and their sounds. More able readers make errors that suggest an understanding of letter-cluster-to-sound rules. The less able readers rely on less effective rules than do the more able readers. Differential understanding of the structure of letter-to-sound correspondences, particularly of vowel to sound patterns, is proposed to be the primary source of disparity in reading performance among beginning readers.

Phonological recoding and self-teaching: sine qua non of reading acquisition.
TL;DR: This paper elaborates the self-teaching hypothesis, reviews relevant evidence, and notes that current models of word recognition fail to address the quintessential problem of reading acquisition-independent generation of target pronunciations for novel orthographic strings.

Units of word recognition: Evidence for developmental changes
TL;DR: This paper investigated the unit of word recognition as a function of grade level and found a developmental trend from component to holistic processing with advancing grade level with respect to the critical interaction effect and the latency analysis indicated significant effects for grade-level and word length.

Chapter 1: A Review of Emergent Literacy with Implications for Research and Practice in Reading:
Jana M. Mason,JoBeth Allen +1 more
TL;DR: Rousseau was almost the first to see that learning is a matter of necessity; it is a part of the process of self-preservation and of growth as discussed by the authors. But it is difficult to find out how education takes place most successfully, and not to the practices of the schools where it is largely an adornment, a superfluity and even an unwelcome imposition.

Multivariate Analysis: Techniques for Educational and Psychological Research
Maurice M. Tatsuoka
- 01 Jan 1971
TL;DR: The second edition of Tatsuoka's widely used text is, in my opinion, required reading for anyone who has the idealistic goal of devoting his life to instruction in an environment where demands, tools, standards, professional recognition, even hope of financial success, change rapidly as mentioned in this paper.

The Development on the Use of Graphic and Contextual Information as Children Learn To Read.
TL;DR: In this article, a study of oral reading errors made by 42 children in two first-grade classes from October to May was conducted and the authors analyzed the errors in terms of their contextual constraints (making sense in light of preceding context) and graphic constraints (graphic approximation of error response to printed word).
