Abstract | Since pronunciations of vowel clusters are among the most unpredictable letter-sound correspondences in English and therefore children learning to read must often rely on something other than spelling as a clue to pronunciation of vowel cluster words, data relating to pronunciation frequencies of certain vowel clusters were gathered for this study, and a rationale for selection of words containing these clusters was developed. An instrument devised for use in assessing children's initial pronunciations of vowel clusters in unfamiliar words is described, and a study using it is proposed. Results of the study will be presented in a second report. (MS) |
