Impact on reading

Awareness of the structure and meaning of morphologically complex words: Impact on reading by Joanne F. Carlisle (2000)

New Words
-The jargon in his talk was opaque to me.
-Friday 31 July 1925 henceforth became known as ‘Red Friday’.

Main points

-Morphological awareness (structural knowledge and meaning) and processing (the ability to decompose morphologically complex words, or derived words) are useful for reading comprehension..
-High frequency words were read more accurately than low frequency ones.
-Production of shift words were less well than transparent words.
