Tags: Three Common AssumptionsGoodman et al (1979) is quite right about this: A second assumption, widely held, about reading instruction in languages other than English, in particular Spanish and Indian languages, is that since they have more “regular” grapheme-phoneme correspondence, it is much easier for the student to learn to read initially in the native language by […]

Tags: Three Common AssumptionsGoodman et al (1979) on orthographic regularity and learning to read: Spelling English is complex but that has little to do with the difficulty of reading it. The greater “regularity” in correspondence between sound and spelling in other languages does not make them easier to learn to read. “Reading problems” are not unique to […]

Tags: Three Common AssumptionsThere is no evidence that orthographic complexity links to “ease” of learning to read? That’s really surprising! There is no research evidence to support the idea that a language with a more “regular” orthography is easier to learn to read. Nor is there any research evidence to support the more general assumption that one […]

Tags: American and British English Differences - Wikipedia
The use of “whilst” instead of “while” is regional in speech, but “whilst” is nearly always used in official documents, signs and instructions. This is because in some Northern dialects, “while” means “until”. Not knowing this caused a number of fatalities when automatic level (railway) crossings were first introduced […]

Tags: Phoneme - WikipediaPhoneme defined: In spoken language, a phoneme is a basic, theoretical unit of sound that can change the meaning of a word. A phoneme may well represent categorically several phonetically similar or phonologically related sounds (the relationship may not be so phonetically obvious, which is one of the problems with this conceptual scheme).
Phoneme […]

Tags: Phoneme - WikipediaWhat the following example suggests is that children in different langauges may answer differently if they were asked to count phonemes or reverse phonemes of /buts/. A sound that is a single phoneme in one language may be a phoneme cluster in another. For instance, /buts/ means leg-covering footwear in English and consists of […]
