This groundbreaking study on the psycholinguistics of spelling
presents the author's original empirical research on spelling and
supplies the theoretical framework necessary to understand how
children's ability to write is related to their ability to speak a
language. The author explores areas in a field dominated by work
traditionally concerned with the psychodynamics of reading skills
and, in so doing, highlights the importance of learning to spell
for both psycholinguists and educators, since as they begin to
spell, children attempt to represent the phonological, or sound
form, of words. The study of children's spelling can shed light on
the nature of phonological systems and can illuminate the way
sounds are organized into larger units, such as syllables and
words. Research on children's spelling leads directly to an
understanding of the way phonological knowledge is acquired and how
phonological systems change with the development of reading and
writing ability. In addition to this insight concerning cognitive
processes, the findings presented here have implications for how
spelling should be taught and why some writing systems are easier
to master than others. The work will interest a wide range of
cognitive and developmental psychologists, psycholinguists, and
educational psychologists, as well as linguists and educators
interested in psycholinguistics.
