Resumo(s)
Phonological processing skills, such as phonological awareness, are known predictors
of reading acquisition in alphabetic languages with varying degrees of orthographic complexity.
However, the role of multi-letter-sound knowledge, an important foundation for early reading
development, in supporting reading fluency development remains to be determined. This study
examined whether two core foundational skills, phonemic awareness and grapheme sounding,
have a predictive role in reading fluency development in an intermediate-depth orthography. The
participants were 62 children learning to read in European Portuguese, and they were longitudinally
assessed on phonemic awareness, complex grapheme sounding, and reading fluency (decoding,
word, and text) from Grade 2 to Grade 3. The results showed that grapheme sounding predicted
reading fluency development controlled for nonverbal intelligence and vocabulary, short-term verbal
memory, and phonemic awareness. Grapheme sounding plays a prominent role in predicting
reading fluency outcomes, whereas phonemic awareness (both accuracy and time per correct item)
did not contribute to any of the three types of reading fluency. The fact that grapheme-sounding
predicted reading fluency is likely due to complex grapheme-phoneme correspondences being
required to achieve proficient reading. These findings provide insights into the cognitive processes
underlying reading development in intermediate-depth orthographies and have implications for
early literacy instruction.
