Orthographic Awareness and Gifted Spellers: Early Experiences and Practices.
Olson, Mary W.; And Others
Roeper Review, v10 n3 p152-55 Mar 1988
Approximately 100 national spelling bee finalists and their parents were surveyed concerning their early literacy experiences and spelling practices. The fourth-eighth grade spellers showed an early interest in language activities; passed through developmental spelling stages earlier than average; and mastered words via visual memory strategies, word meanings, and saying/writing words.
