An Investigation of Task Requirements Associated with the Invented Spellings of Four-Year-Olds with above Average Intelligence.

Burns, Jeanne M.; Richgels, Donald J.

Journal of Reading Behavior, v21 n1 p1-14 1989

Examines whether the conscious use of phonological knowledge is associated with invented spelling and whether a relation exists between invented spelling and reading. Finds a relation between spelling ability and conscious use of phonological knowledge; however, word reading appears to be a related (but separate) ability from word writing. (RS)
