Beyond Phonics: The Case for Teaching Children the Logic of the English Spelling System (2017, methodology): “In addition, the three existing SWI studies report improvements in decoding (Devonshire et al., 2013), spelling (Devonshire & Fluck, 2010), and vocabulary knowledge (P. N. Bowers & Kirby, 2010), with morphological instruction directed at children as young as 5 years of age (Devonshire et al., 2013).”
Development of morphological awareness and vocabulary knowledge in Spanish-speaking language minority learners: A parallel process latent growth curve model (2011, unknown): “…few well-designed intervention studies have been conducted with native English speakers (e.g., Baumann, Edwards, Boland, Olejnik, & Kame’enui, 2003; Bowers & Kirby, 2009; Nunes, Bryant, & Olsson, 2003) and LM learners (Carlo et al., 2004; Lesaux, Kieffer, Faller, & Kelley, 2010), but the evidence…”
The effects of biliteracy instruction on morphological awareness (2013, background): “…that morphological instruction (a) improves reading comprehension (e.g., Carlisle, 2000; Kuo & Anderson, 2006), (b) increases “motivation to investigate words” (Bowers et al., 2010, p. 145), and (c) develops vocabulary well beyond the words targeted by the instruction (Bowers & Kirby, 2010).”
Morphological Awareness: A Key to Understanding Poor Reading Comprehension in English. (2011, background): “Although this model does not specify the role of morphology in reading comprehension, morphology might be a core part of high-quality lexical representations (Bowers & Kirby, 2010; Bowers, Kirby, & Deacon, 2010).”
