Arfé, Barbara; Zancato, Tamara – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
According to a language-integrated view of spelling development, learning to spell involves the same language-learning skills across alphabetic systems. A prediction based on this view is that the same spelling training should be equally effective for learning to spell in a shallow (Italian, native language) or an opaque (English, additional…

Colombo, Lucia; Deguchi, Chizuru; Boureux, Magali – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2014
Italian has regular spelling-sound correspondences; however, assignment of lexical stress is unpredictable. Sensitivity to stress neighborhood information was investigated by constructing three types of three-syllabic nonwords: nonwords with word-endings characterized by a strong neighborhood of dominant stress words (dominant), nonwords with…

Cossu, Giuseppe; And Others – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1995
States that reading and written spelling skills for words and nonwords of varying length and orthographic complexity were investigated in normal Italian first and second graders.

Studied the use of punctuation in children's early writings in connection with organization of the text. Collected 134 stories of second graders written in Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian. Children tried to make sense of writing conventions, including the use of punctuation, and some tried to distinguish the functions of punctuation marks. (SLD)
