Orthographic Resources Affect Reading Acquisition--If They Are Used.
Gleitman, Lila R.
Remedial and Special Education (RASE), v6 n6 p24-36 Nov-Dec 1985
The article replies to H. Stevenson (EC 162 649), who has interpreted his cross-linguistic studies as showing that differences in orthographies do not materially affect the reading-acquisition process or the prognosis for successful learning. The reply asserts that Stevenson's results derive from a faulty interpretation of comparisons among learning rates of Japanese, Chinese, and American learners. (Author/CL)
