The Limitations of Orthographic Analogy in Early Reading Development: Performance on the Clue-Word Task Depends on Phonological Priming and Elementary Decoding Skill, Not the Use of Orthographic Analogy.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v80 n1 p75-94 Sep 2001

It was concluded that the extent to which beginning readers make orthographic analogies is overestimated and that theories emphasizing orthographic analogy as a mechanism driving early reading development need reexamination.
