Spelling Errors as a Window on Variations in Phonological Deficits among Students with Dyslexia.
Sawyer, Diane J.; Wade, Sally; Kim, Jwa K.
Annals of Dyslexia, v49 p137-59 1999
Characteristics of spelling development and spelling error patterns were examined in 100 schoolchildren (ages 7 to 15) previously identified as dyslexic with specific phonological weaknesses. Comparison of subgroups indicated that better spellers are also better readers and that measures of phonemic segmenting and manipulation make independent contributions to word reading skill.
