The role of orthography in reading and writing is not a new topic
of inquiry. For example, in 1970 Venezky made a seminal
contribution with The Structure of English Orthography in which he
showed how both sequential redundancy (probable and permissible
letter sequences) and rules of letter-sound correspondence
contribute to orthographic structure. In 1980 Ehri introduced the
concept of orthographic images, that is, the representation of
written words in memory, and proposed that the image is created by
an amalgamation of the word's orthographic and phonological
properties. In 1981 Taylor described the evolution of orthographies
in writing systems-from the earliest logographies for pictorial
representation of ideas to syllabaries for phonetic representation
of sounds to alphabets for phonemic representation of sounds. In
1985 Frith proposed a stage model for the role of orthographic
knowledge in development of word recognition: Initially in the
logographic stage a few words can be recognized on the basis of
partial spelling information; in the alphabetic stage words are.
recognized on the basis of grapheme-phoneme correspondence; in the
orthographic stage spelling units are recognized automatically
without phonological mediation. For an historical overview of
research on visual processing of written language spanning the
earliest records of writing to the early work in experimental
psychology, see Venezky (1993).
