Defior, Sylvia; Alegria, Jesus; Titos, Rosa; Martos, Francisco – Cognitive Development, 2008
Deep orthographies usually represent morphology and phonology simultaneously; both resources are necessary for spelling. In shallow orthographies, such as Spanish, phonology would be enough to spell most words. However, morphological knowledge may also take part in spelling. This study examined how Spanish children in 1st (N = 148), 2nd (N = 155)…
