Individual Differences among Children in Spelling and Reading Styles.
Treiman, Rebecca
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v37 n3 p463-77 Jun 1984
Finds evidence for a continuum between children relying heavily on spelling-sound rules and those using specific associations. Spelling nonsense words correlated more highly with spelling regular words than with spelling exception words. Skill at rules was overgeneralized to exception words. Rule use in spelling correlated with rule use in reading. (Author/RH)
