Abstract
Stress and rhythm are unmarked in English’s orthography. To refine prosodic awareness, late speakers of English read stylistically-enhanced poems (intervention) or control conditions (plain poems; prose). Prosody sensitivity was evaluated before and after the intervention and as an individual difference variable. The results revealed predictors of prosodic awareness.
