Abstract
Based on emerging evidence on speech rhythm, musical rhythm, and reading relationships, the current study found that individual differences in musical rhythm abilities predict variation in silent reading fluency scores, over and above the contribution of prosody skills. Further, we replicated findings that speech rhythm supports reading development.
