Acquisition and Use of Spelling-Sound Correspondences in Reading.

Backman, Joan; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v38 n1 p114-33 Aug 1984

Examines the development of word recognition skills of 80 school children (grades two-four). Good beginning readers rapidly learn to recognize high frequency words from visual input alone and simultaneously expand and consolidate spelling sound correspondences. Younger and poor readers rely more on phonological information in word decoding. (Author)
