- Abstract
- This study examined differential contributions of Korean phonological and
morphological processing skills to reading and spelling across Korean Hangul,
logographic Hanja, and English among 107 sixth graders in Korea. In regression
equations, after controlling for vocabulary and phonological awareness,
both number naming speed and morpheme judgment accounted for unique
variance in Hangul word reading and spelling. Korean phoneme awareness
explained unique variance in reading and spelling skills in English, but not
in Hanja. In addition, Korean morphological awareness was found to predict
reading in both Hanja and English. It is thus suggested that phonological and
morphological awareness, which are both language-general abilities, transfer to
reading skills across languages and writing systems.
