Early reading skills can be predicted by temporal processing measures. Visual and auditory temporal order judgment (TOJ) tasks administered before school entry accurately forecast reading development in young children.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Early reading development is crucial for academic success.
  • Identifying predictors of reading difficulties is essential for timely intervention.
  • Temporal processing, the ability to perceive the order of stimuli, is a proposed foundational skill for reading.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if pre-entry temporal processing measures predict early reading development.
  • To determine the predictive validity of visual and auditory temporal order judgment (TOJ) tasks.
  • To examine the role of temporal processing in reading acquisition, considering other cognitive factors.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 125 preschool children (mean age 5.36 years) completed visual and auditory TOJ tasks.

  • Reading development (letter/word identification, reading rate) was assessed in early Grade 1 (mean age 5.94 years).
  • Statistical analyses controlled for age, environment, memory, attention, nonverbal ability, and speech/language issues.

    • Main Results:

    • Preschool TOJ measures significantly predicted early Grade 1 reading accuracy and fluency.
    • Auditory TOJ predicted reading at both preschool and Grade 1, while visual TOJ predicted reading rate only at Grade 1.
    • Temporal processing measures remained significant predictors even after accounting for other cognitive and environmental factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Temporal processing abilities, particularly auditory and visual TOJ, are valuable predictors of early reading success.
    • These measures, taken close to school entry, can aid in identifying children at risk for reading difficulties.
    • The evolving role of visual temporal processing suggests developmental changes in its contribution to reading.
