Degani, Tamar; Yagev Bar-David, Orr; Levy Adam, Lior – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Because both spelling and reading abilities tap orthographic knowledge, improvements in one ability may lead to improvements in the other. Here, we test whether spelling performance in a second-language (L2) can be improved by a short L2 reading task, as brief exposure to an L2 can increase the activation of L2 representations, making orthographic…
