language literacy success well documented explicit awareness ability segment blend units language phonology ie phonemic awareness widely recognized highly predictive reading writing success ehri et al 2001 recently researchers begun investigate phenomenon morphological awareness ability reflect actively manipulate smallest linguistic units meaning evidence shown morphological awareness associated

interpreting research developing assessments morphological awareness morphological awareness influences assessment factors complexity despite positive evidence regarding importance morphological awareness predicting language literacy success interpretability findings limited diverse types morphological awareness assessment tasks used across studies incomplete data regarding development many tasks apel diehm apel 2013 carlisle 2010 time standardized task available assess morphological awareness active explicit reflection morphological word structure required thus researchers developed morphological awareness tasks tasks vary widely thoroughly skill assessed whether factors word frequency controlled consequently difficult compare results across studies important continue explore complex factors associated student performance morphological awareness assessment tasks several factors established affecting childrens morphological awareness task performance include certainly limited following morphological suffix level ie inflections vs derivations word frequency ie individuals exposure wordmorpheme therefore familiarity clarity morphological relationships ie transparent vs opaque wordpairs semantic properties individual words eg concrete abstract qualities words general children develop awareness inflectional morphology affixes changing tense plurality possession early first grade wolter et al 2009 develop consistent awareness derivational morphology set affixes typically change word class third grade kuo anderson 2006 given differential development inflectional derivational morphology stands reason morphological awareness suffix level must considered morphological awareness task development reflect developmental data specifically young children factors word frequency transparency derivedword relationship also appear affect developmental appropriateness morphological awareness measures word frequency likely contributes childs familiarity word recognized confounding variable affecting childrens performance morphological awareness measures eg nippold sun 2008 addition clarity relationship base word corresponding derivative found affect morphological task performance children generally perform better morphological awareness tasks use transparent rather opaque words eg carlisle stone katz 2001 word pairs considered transparent pronunciation spelling base word maintained derived form four fourth heal healing word pairs considered opaque involve shift pronunciation andor spelling derived form five fifth factors may readily affect morphological task performance need controlled considered interpreting designing morphological awareness tasks morphological awareness articles addition aforementioned factors researchers issue explore influences definitional variances affix knowledge word imageability morphological awareness task performance development additional factors appear equally significantly important developing assessments morphological awareness morphological awareness defined metalinguistic modality considerations inclusive unified definition important developing valid assessments morphological awareness readily interpretable comparable across studies indeed without consistent application clear comprehensive definition apel 2014 contends lead article issue assessment outcomes may incomplete research using outcomes may contradicting andor misleading apel reasons research reviews childrens morphological awareness abilities interchangeably focused assessment implicit unconscious use morphology morphological knowledge versus metalinguistic skills explicit conscious reflection required morphological awareness moreover studies included various versions morphological awareness tasks
