Direct linkSargiani, Renan de Almeida; Ehri, Linnea C.; Maluf, Maria Regina – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
In this experiment, we examined whether beginning readers benefit more from grapheme-phoneme decoding (GPD) than from whole-syllable decoding (WSD) instruction in learning to read and write words. Sixty Brazilian Portuguese-speaking first graders (M age = 6 years 1 month) who knew letter names but could not read or write words were randomly…

This study reports the types of spelling errors made by the beginner learners of English in the EFL context as well as the major sources underpinning such errors in contextual writing composition tasks. Data were collected from written samples of 122 EFL students (male and female) enrolled in the intensive English language programme during the…

Masterson, Julie J.; Apel, Kenn – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2010
This article presents two approaches to determining the goals and methods of instruction in spelling. One approach is to administer a standardized test, document the student's grade- level performance, present lists of words at that grade level to the student, and then test his or her performance each week. The other approach is prescriptive and…

Al-Jarf, Reima – Online Submission, 2008
36 Saudi EFL freshmen students took a listening-spelling test in which they filled out 100 blanks in a dialogue. Results indicated that 63% of the spelling errors were phonological and 37% were orthographic. It was also found that the subjects had more phonological problems with whole words but more orthographic problems with graphemes. Some of…

Sun-Alperin, M. Kendra; Wang, Min – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2008
Vowels in Spanish have direct one-to-one letter-sound correspondences, whereas vowels in English usually have multiple spellings. For native Spanish-speaking children learning to spell in English, this transition from a shallow to a deep orthography could potentially cause difficulties. We examined whether the spelling of English vowel sounds was…

Peer reviewedAmoroso, Henry C., Jr. – Research in Rural Education, 1985
Assesses the extent to which 30 third graders employ phonetically-based spelling strategies in representing synthetic words with high and mid front vowels. Finds spelling of good readers rule-governed and derived from judgement about language while that of poor readers showed less awareness of written language patterns. (LFL)

Graham, Richard T.; Rudorf, E. Hugh – Elem Engl, 1970
Discusses a research study designed to determine whether rules drawn from the Stanford spelling study, "Phoneme-Grapheme Correspondence as Cues to Spelling Improvement, are applicable across regional dialect lines. (RD)

Rudorf, E. Hugh; Graham, Richard T. – 1970
This study focused upon (1) whether the errors of sixth-grade children in spelling American English words were related to the dialect spoken by the children, and (2) what effect the teaching of phoneme-grapheme correspondence rules based upon a single dialect pattern would have on the spelling of second-grade children. First, eight sixth-grade…

Cronnell, Bruce – 1975
The English spelling system and the teaching of English spelling are discussed in relation to students who are learning English as a second (or foreign) language. The systematic nature of English spelling is described and a brief summary is presented of sound-to-spelling correspondences and of other spelling rules. Specific difficulties which may…
