Abstract
In this research, 20 children from each of 3,4,5 grades served as subjects, according to the teachers’ recommendation, each group of children subjects were divided into good and poor readers. Several tasks were designed to study the feature and development of children’s syllable awareness, onset-rime awareness, and phonemic awareness. The results of this research indicated that: Chinese phonological awareness of children developed with the increasing of grade, syllable awareness and onset-rime awareness developed earlier than phonemic awareness. The poor readers fall behind good readers in their phonological awareness, the differences between good and poor readers are analogous to those between older and younger children, and performance of the older poor readers tends to resemble that of younger good readers, good and poor readers tend to differ in the rate at which they develop phonological awareness.
