Abstract: Readers could obtain lexical information from the words to the right of fixation during reading. The efficient parafoveal processing may be one of the key determinants of fluent reading. Based on children's language development, we conducted three experiments to investigate the developmental trajectory of orthographic, phonological and semantic processing parafoveally from second graders to fifth graders in Chinese word recognition. There were a total of 534 participants who participated in the three experiments. The results were as follows:(1)Orthographic preview effects were found from second to fifth graders. (2)There were not phonological preview effects for second and third graders, while fourth and fifth graders could obtain phonological preview benefit. (3)Second graders were not able to obtain semantic preview benefit, while the third to fifth graders could. The results indicated that low level visual information(orthographic information) plays an important role in children's parafoveal processing and remains stable across different ages. The high level linguistic informations(phonological and semantic information) become increasingly important for efficient word identification with grade level and reading skill.

Key words: parafoveal processing, orthographic preview effects, phonological preview effects, semantic preview effects, reading development
