Specific Spelling Disability: Factual or Artifactual?

Joshi, R. Malatesha; Aaron, P. G.

Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v2 n2 p107-25 Jun 1990

Investigates whether so-called poor spellers who are good readers are indeed good readers. Finds that three college students who appeared to be poor spellers but good readers were inefficient readers who committed numerous errors while reading aloud. Concludes that reading aloud and spelling involve phonological mediation and are not completely dissociable. (RS)
