Examples of spellspell The benefits of incorporating spelling into beginning reading instruction. There is a growing interest in theoretical aspects of spelling and in comparisons across languages and writing systems. They did not find strong evidence for early use of analogies either in spelling or in reading. The problem may seem dreary but it still needs spelling out in detail. On the role of spelling in morpheme recognition : experimental studies with children and adults. He concluded that twelve-year-old children divided inflected, but not derived words into component morphemes when they are spelling. As we show below, developing spelling perception is mediated by typological traits of the language being learnt. Due to phonological neutralizations, both orthographies contain homophonous graphemes, which provide alternative spellings for the same phoneme and constitute sources for spelling errors. A second focal point relates to the impact of typological features on spelling development. In all conditions, learning is going on and the number of spelling errors is decreasing. Since the morphological rules are extremely simple and transparently reflected in the orthography, spelling inflected words should be much easier, as compared to spelling stems. One of the clear conclusions that emerges from this study is that spelling development is not a mere technical skill of phoneme to grapheme conversion.
