Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study investigated the relations between some literacy-related cognitive skills and children’s performance in Chinese reading and writing at word level. A total of 128 Hong Kong Chinese children in third and fifth grades participated in this study. Rapid automatic naming (RAN) and morphological awareness accounted for unique variance in Chinese reading accuracy and reading fluency, while RAN and phonological awareness explained unique variance in Chinese spelling, after controlling for children’s age, non-verbal IQ and vocabulary. Moreover, the effects of RAN on reading fluency and spelling, as well as the effect of phonological awareness on spelling, remained significant, whereas the effect of morphological awareness on reading fluency became non-significant when reading accuracy was further controlled. These findings underscore the importance of RAN in Chinese children’s literacy development, and the potential different contributions of metalinguistic skills to Chinese word reading and writing.

语音意识、词形意识、正字法意识和RAN与香港中文儿童字水平读写能力的关系

摘要本研究旨在探讨与识字相关的认知技能与儿童中文读写能力的关系。共有128名香港中文三、五年级儿童参与了本研究。在控制了儿童的年龄、非言语智商和词汇量之后，快速自动命名和形态意识解释了汉语阅读准确性和阅读流畅性的独特差异，而快速自动命名和语音意识解释了汉语拼写的独特差异。此外，RAN对阅读流畅性和拼写的影响以及语音意识对拼写的影响仍然显著，而在进一步控制阅读准确性后，形态意识对阅读流畅性的影响变得不显著。这些发现强调了RAN在中国儿童识字发展中的重要性，以及元语言技能对汉语单词阅读和写作的潜在不同贡献。
