Are Word-Reading Processes the Same or Different in Adult Literacy Students and Third--Fifth Graders Matched for Reading Level?
Greenberg, Daphne; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v89 n2 p262-75 Jun 1997

The same orthographic and phonological processes appear to govern in both, but correlations between word reading and spelling were weaker for adults. (SLD)
