Reading and Spelling Acquisition in French: The Role of Phonological Mediation and Orthographic Factors.
Sprenger-Charolles, Liliane; Siegel, Linda S.; Bonnet, Philippe
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v68 n2 p134-65 Feb 1998
Hypothesized: (1) phonological mediation is primary process in acquisition of French reading and spelling skills; and (2) it may allow construction of orthographic lexicon. Tests partially supported first hypothesis, with contradictory finding of facilitative effect of analogy for reading. Second hypothesis was supported; also found that children use graphemes (not only letters) in early stages of reading and spelling. (EV)
