Summary: Researchers examined grade-level differences in 1st- through 3rd-grade students' performance on an affix meaning task and determined whether the resulting performance explained unique variance in word-level reading and reading comprehension, beyond other known contributors to reading development. The results provided an initial conclusion that affix meaning knowledge contributes to the development of reading abilities above other known literacy predictors.
