Abstract
Previous research has shown that both children and skilled adult readers use phonological encoding during reading comprehension. This is indicated by the fact that both children and adults find it more difficult to reject as meaningless such printed sentences as She through a ball (which sounds acceptable) than to reject such sentences as She thought a ball (which sounds unacceptable). This difference could not occur if phonological encoding played no part in sentence comprehension.
