Variations in Spelling Style among Lexical and Sublexical Readers.
Castles, Anne; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v64 n1 p98-118 Jan 1997
Researchers found that children who were lexical readers (those who read words as units) tended to make more errors involving partial lexical information when spelling irregular words than those who were sublexical readers (those who translated letters into sounds when reading). Sublexical readers tended to spell non-words better and to make more regularization errors when spelling irregular words. (EAJ)
