Children's sensitivity to syllables, onsets, rimes, and phonemes
Article Abstract:
Preschool children are able to judge two stimuli as sharing a beginning sound if the sound has its own onset and is not a part of a cluster onset. Kindergarten and first grade children judge syllables better than rimes when the shared units are in the middle syllables of the trisyllabic stimuli. In rhyming stimuli sharing a unit, there is no syllable superiority. The syllable advantage is overridden by the children's familiarity with the rhyme.
