Orthographic Learning during Reading: Examining the Role of Self-Teaching.

Assessed the degree of orthographic learning in homophonic choice, spelling, and target naming tasks with second graders. Found that processing of target homophones was superior to that of their homophonic controls and found a substantial correlation between orthographic learning and number of target homophones correctly decoded during story reading, consistent with the self- teaching hypothesis.
