When Children Write Nonwords to Dictation.
Campbell, Ruth
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v40 n1 p133-51 Aug 1985
Investigates 9- to 11-year-old children's skill in written spelling of simple, monosyllabic nonwords. Nonword spelling was poorer for these children than for tested adults. Results suggest that word knowledge has direct (biasing) and indirect (general word spelling knowledge) effect on performance of the spelling task. (Author/BE)
