Predictive Models of Word Reading Fluency in Hebrew

This study examined a multi-componential approach to reading fluency in first and third grade Hebrew speaking children. Measures of naming speed, phonological awareness, morphological awareness, morpho-syntax awareness, and vocabulary were administered to first (N=68) and third (N=67) graders. Hierarchical regression models revealed that in both grades, naming speed accounted for most of the variance in each model. However, while in the first...
