Abstract
Children's detection errors on the letter t in short passages were found to depend on their reading comprehension skill, the semantic and syntactic constraints of the passage, and whether or not the target letter appeared in the word the. All children made a high proportion of detection errors on the prose passage, but only the skilled group showed any difference in errors for the and non the words, making relatively more errors on the in the prose and scrambled prose passages. These results support the hypothesis that the facility with which familiar words are processed is related to reading com prehension skill in children.
