This study examines
individual differences in child literacy and spelling strategies and the
specific characteristics of children and cognitive skills that predict the use
of strategies. One hundred seventy-two children completed a receptive
vocabulary assessment, reading frequency, decoding skills, orthographic
processing skills, irregular word and spelling readings and a standard reading
of words and spelling. Analysis of children's reading and spelling errors
illustrates that different cognitive abilities predict dependence on different
strategies. In reading, the decoding skills positively predict the phonological
strategy and reverse the orthographic strategy. In spelling, orthographic
processing skills positively predict orthographic strategies and predict
phonological strategies in reverse. Overall, the phonological reading strategy
and the orthographic spelling strategy are closely related to reading and spelling
performance. Individual differences in children's reading and spelling
strategies, the effectiveness of these strategies and the skills that predict
strategic choices are discussed.
