Häikiö, Tuomo; Luotojärvi, Tinja – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
In early Finnish reading instruction, hyphens are used to denote syllable boundaries. However, this practice slows down reading already during the 1st grade. It has been hypothesized that hyphenation forces readers to rely more on phonology than orthography. Since hyphenation highlights the phonology of the word, it may facilitate reading during…

Salas, Naymé; Caravolas, Markéta – Journal of Literacy Research, 2019
Writing development is understood to be a multidimensional task, heavily constrained by spelling in its early stages.

We explored writing dimensions in each language…

This paper investigated six to nine year old children's ability to use contractive and possessive apostrophes, the effects of type and token frequency, and the effect of teaching on this ability. Apostrophes provide an interesting opportunity to examine the basis of frequency effects in rule inference, as type and token frequencies dissociate in…
