Learning a Novel Grapheme: Effects of Positional and Phonemic Context on Children's Spelling.
Bernstein, Stuart E.; Treiman, Rebecca
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v79 n1 p56-77 May 2001
Explored how 5.5- to 9-year-olds generalize to novel items a new phoneme spelling. Found they were more likely to use novel grapheme when the vowel appeared in the middle of a target; they were not more likely to use novel grapheme when it shared vowel and final consonant of the target than when it shared initial consonant and vowel.
