Abstract

This study provides evidence from a longitudinal investigation of children aged 6–8, shedding light on how various reading related linguistic skills contribute to Chinese reading acquisition. The linguistic skills examined include phonological decoding (PD), rapid automatized naming (RAN), and morphological awareness (MA). Reading ability was assessed through character reading and reading comprehension. A total of 120 children were evaluated on a comprehensive set of linguistic skills and reading abilities during the second semester of kindergarten (age 6), and grades 1 (age 7) and 2 (age 8). Correlational and regression analyses were used to explore the relationships between linguistic skills and reading development over three years, while controlling for age, family social status, nonverbal IQ, and language comprehension. The results suggest three key findings: 1) RAN is crucial for character reading at age 6 and longitudinally predicts reading development at age 8; 2) PD plays an important role both at ages 7 and 8, and longitudinally predicts reading development from ages 6–8; and 3) MA is related to language comprehension at age 6, and its importance increases from ages 7–8. Discussions of the impact of these linguistic skills on reading development, along with practical implications, are provided.

语音解码、快速自动命名及词形意识在台湾6 ~ 8岁儿童中文阅读习得中的作用

本研究通过对6-8岁儿童的纵向调查，揭示了不同的阅读相关语言技能对汉语阅读习得的影响。语言技能测试包括语音解码（PD），快速自动命名（RAN）和形态意识（MA）。阅读能力通过人物阅读和阅读理解进行评估。共有120名儿童在幼儿园第二学期（6岁）、一年级（7岁）和二年级（8岁）接受了全面的语言技能和阅读能力评估。在控制年龄、家庭社会地位、非语言智商和语言理解等因素的情况下，采用相关分析和回归分析探讨了三年内语言技能与阅读发展之间的关系。结果表明：1)RAN对6岁儿童的文字阅读至关重要，并纵向预测8岁儿童的阅读发展；2) PD在7岁和8岁时均发挥重要作用，并纵向预测6-8岁的阅读发展；3) MA与6岁时的语言理解相关，其重要性在7-8岁时增加。讨论了这些语言技能对阅读发展的影响，以及实际意义。
