Hierarchical Multiple Regressions Analyses that estimated the Predictive Power of Morphological Awareness at Each Grade on Character Reading after Controlling for Differences in Age, IQ, Phonological Awareness, Orthographic Awareness, RAN, and Phonological Memory.

Note. At step-one, 7variables were entered in the analysis. They were Nonverbal intelligence, Oddity detection, Deletion, Print knowledge, Lexical decision, Rapid automatized naming & Oral pseudo-word repetition. At step-two, two morphological awareness tests were entered into the equation. In this way, it was established whether the orthographic factors have a unique contribution to Chinese reading achievement.
