Abstract: The study was to explore the emergence and development of Chinese orthographic awareness and the correlation between the orthographic awareness and vocabulary in 474 preschool and primary school children.Figures,ill-components non-characters,ill-structure non-characters,pseudo-characters and real characters were used as stimuli. Subjects were required to judge whether a stimulus was a legal character or not.The results showed:(1)Children's orthographic awareness emerged and developed gradually.The orthographic awareness didn't appear in preschool,until grade one.It grew with the increase of grade.(2)Preschool children can only discriminate figures among stimuli and school children are aware of the legality of structure and component.The awareness of structure was more easily acquired than the awareness of component.(3)The orthographic awareness developed based on children's vocabulary.Reading ability was correlated with different aspect of orthographic awareness in different developmental stage.
