An analysis of the component spelling and reading skills of good readers-good spellers, good readers-poor spellers, and poor readers-poor spellers. As we have seen, even inexperienced spellers use uppercase letters more often in the initial positions of their spellings than in the later positions. Little is known about whether beginning spellers select letters on the basis of partial or inexact matches between letter names and words being written. Nevertheless, even the group of normally developing 10-year-old spellers made about 15% incorrect categorizations combined for words and nonwords. Thus, rather than being restricted to highly skilled spellers, the advantage for written spelling is evident from an early age. Another characteristic of less skilled spellers, which has been assessed and reported less often, is the inconsistency of their spelling. The speller, on the other hand, is an absolute joy. The 29 poor spellers that participated in the present study all performed below the 10th percentile. The size of this effect was similar for all three groups of participants (normal, poor, and young inexperienced spellers). The poor spellers performed on about the same level as younger inexperienced spellers. However, for the consonant spellings even the poor spellers showed a clear difference between context sensitive and wordspecific spellings. Thus, explicit attention to context sensitive spellings in spelling instruction may be a great help for poor spellers. In many cases they require linguistic insights on the part of the speller. Even children who were partial alphabetic spellers showed a slight but significant preference for final doublets. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
