Highlights • Previous studies have shown automatic vOT activation when processing spoken language.• vOT is organized from small onset to large rime grain size.• Higher fluency in 7−8 year olds only correlated with rhyme processing in anterior vOT.• Results suggest that these children have transitioned to larger grain size.• Exploratory analyses show reliance on phonology in STG for processing onsets.
