Abstract

This study focuses on the realationship between morphological awareness and reading skills in third and fourth graders. Participants were evaluated in phonological awareness, vocabulary level, IQ, reading speed, reading comprehension and in a morphological processing task. This task is formed by 8 different subtasks both on inflectional and derivational morphology. The results show a lack of a developmental effect in the case of inflectional morphology but a significant effect for derivational morphology. On the other hand, the results on the morphological awareness task correlate significantly with the reading comprehension, therefore supporting the relevance of this variable for reading. The results on the morphological awareness task also correlate with the vocabulary level, thus showing the lexical nature of this variable. The overall results are discussed in the light of previous research carried out in different languages including Spanish.
