Anchoring in 4- to 6-year-old children relates to predictors of reading
Banai, Karen, August, 2012
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 112(4), 403-416

Two studies of anchoring--a process that allows individuals to implicitly benefit from contextual information embedded in sequences of stimuli--one that examines the relationship between anchoring and rapid naming and phonological short-term memory in children prior to the onset of formal reading instruction, and a second study that examines the unique contribution that anchoring makes to performance in two early predictors of reading--letter knowledge and phonological awareness--with the first study based on data from 55 children attending municipal preschools in and around Haifa, Israel, and the second study based on data from 69 native Hebrew-speaking children attending municipal preschools in Northern Israel

Books, bytes and brains: The implications of new knowledge for children's early literacy learning
Hopkins, Liza, March, 2013
Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 38(1), 23-28

The early years of childhood are critical for the successful development of adult literacy, whatever that literacy might look or feel like in the oncoming digital age. Two questions that become important are what sort of literacy (or literacies) will children need in the future to navigate new information pathways, and how can we use recent advances in neuroscience to help us understand optional pathways for developing the fundamentally social skills of literacy. This paper reviews recent research from the two traditionally separate areas of contemporary literacies and infant brain development to re-examine the underpinnings of literacy learning in the early years.
