Effects of morphology on children's spelling of final consonant clusters
Article Abstract:
Morphological relations among words can effect children's ability to spell words with final consonant clusters. Children make consonant omissions in words with consonants belonging to different as well as same morphemes. Such morphology effects are evident in the finishing of partially completed sentences, spelling single words to dictation, and writing sentences containing specific words. First and second graders, and children at first-grade level use morphological relations as a source of information about spellings, but fail to use it optimally.

The development of spelling procedures in French-speaking, normal and reading-disabled children: effects of frequency and lexicality
Article Abstract:
The development of spelling procedures in French-speaking children begins with the use of a simplified set of rules without lexical involvement. Increased effects of word frequency and contextual constraints on rule application in comprehension accompany the increase in reading ability. However, reading-disabled children fail to show such increased effects. This suggests that the French-speaking children use partial cues that provide incomplete representations of words to the orthographic lexicon.

Phonological and morphological consistency in the acquisition of vowel duration spelling in Dutch and German
Article Abstract:
The role of phonological and morphological consistency in the acquisition of the same orthographic feature is examined contrasting the two orthographies Dutch and German. The results demonstrate that children use phonological and morphological rules from an early age but the developmental balance between the two sources of information is constrained by the specific orthography.
