?????? Based on previous
evidence on the developmental sequence of PA (rhyme, syllable, and
phoneme) it was predicted that the comparison group would score higher
on the rhyme detection, syllable blending, phoneme isolation, and
phoneme blending tasks, as well as in WM tasks (backward digit recall,
counting recall, and listening recall).The one-way ANOVAs revealed that the at-risk group did score
lower on all seven tasks: rhyme detection, F(1,38) 185.139, syllable
blending, F(1,38) 257.139; phoneme isolation, F(1,38) = 447.264;
backward digit recall, F(1,38) 89.223; counting recall, F(1,38)
71.849; and listening recall, F(1,38) 52.073, respectively.Rhyme, syllable, and
phoneme task scores were each significantly, positively correlated with
the three WM tasks

A series of one-way ANOVAs was conducted to detect differences
between the group at risk for dyslexia and their counterparts for each
variable.These
differences were significant at the p
