Abstract: Character dictation is an important task in Chinese pupils' literacy development, which is influenced by many cognitive skills. The present cross-sectional study investigated the contribution of metalinguistic awareness and rapid automatized naming to character dictation from grade 1 to grade 6.In this study, 858 children were administered by a battery of tests about metalinguistic awareness (e.g., phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and orthographic awareness), rapid automatized naming and character dictation, with non-verbal IQ and vocabulary knowledge as control variables. With IQ and vocabulary knowledge controlled,the results showed that (1) phonological awareness and orthographic awareness played important roles in low grades; (2) rapid automatized naming played an important role in intermediate and high grades; (3) morphological awareness explained unique variance of character dictation in all grades. Every cognitive skill played a different role in different grade level.

Key words: metalinguistic awareness, rapid automatized naming, pupils, character dictation
