Implication

This observational analysis shows automatic morphological processing enhances fluency and comprehension in middle school students, indicating its importance in reading development.

Key Points

Only automaticity with morphologically complex words contributed unique variance to comprehension and fluency.
Automatic mapping from morpho-orthographic to morpho-phonological regularities significantly supported reading outcomes.
The study involved 80 middle school students and used assessments to measure decoding, fluency, and comprehension.
Results imply that middle school students rely on automatic morphological processing, but not for morpho-semantic regularities.
