The purpose of this study was to know whether there are significant differences on morphological awareness of connective endings between poor and good readers and to verify how the ability of morphological awareness influences on literacy skills. The participants were poor readers in first and second grades(7 first grade, 8 second grade) and good readers in first and second grades(7 first grade, 8 second grade). All of the participants were administered KISE-BAAT, K-CTONI-2 and morphological awareness tasks of connective endings made in this study. The findings of this study are as follows : First, data showed significant differences between the average scores on the morphological awareness task of poor readers and good readers. There might be several possible reasons for the differences such as faulty meta-cognitive skills, limited vocabulary, difficulties of reading, and learned helplessness. Second, the performance on the morphological awareness task of connective endings was significantly correlated with the performance of reading tasks, including subtests of word reading and sentence completion. The findings of study showed that speech language pathologists and special education teachers should consider morphological awareness skills when they evaluate literacy abilities and establish literacy goals into their service program This study focuses on only connective endings among many morphological markers, thus further research is needed on morphological awareness skills of other grammatical morphemes. Links between morphological awareness and vocabulary skills should also be more investigated.
