  • Effects of spelling pronunciations during spelling practice in Dutch

    Maartje Hilte, Mieke Bos et al.ARTICLEWritten Language & Literacy2005

    Because it is often assumed that difficulties in spelling are of phonological origin, the aim of this study was to examine whether emphasis on the pronunciation of individual graphemes is beneficial for learning to spell words in poor spellers. In the first experiment Dutch children with a spelling deficit had to practice words in two types of exercises: (1) full production after memorizing the orthographic pattern, and (2) a special pronunciatio…

  • Investigating the Dimensions of Spelling Ability

    Open AccessAnnelise Notenboom, Pieter Reitsma et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2003

    In this study, the latent structure of a spelling achievement test for elementary school grades was investigated. Factor analyses revealed that for Grades 2 to 6, the test was unidimensional, whereas for Grade 1, two factors were found: a phonological factor and an orthographic factor. Because of the anchor-test design, vertical equatingwas required to fit a two-parameter, unidimensional item response theory model. Concurrent calibration of the p…

  • Analyzing the development of individual differences in terms of Matthew effects in reading

    Janwillem Bast, Pieter Reitsma et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology1998Cited by: 24References: 2

    The Matthew effect hypothesis provides a theoretical framework to describe the development of individual differences in reading ability.The model predicts an increase of individual differences in reading.Reciprocal relationships between reading and other factors seem to cause these increasing differences.This longitudinal study of 3 years was concerned with uncovering the existence and causes of increasing individual differences in reading in the…

  • Mathew Effects in Reading

    Janwillem Bast, Pieter Reitsma et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research1997

    The Matthew effect hypothesis in reading predicts that the gap between good and poor readers increases with time. Although, intuitively appealing, the Matthew effect has hardly been empirically studied in longitudinal studies of reading. Two competing longitudinal models were used to represent the Matthew effect hypothesis: the Latent Growth Curve model and the Simplex model with structured means. It is argued that on the basis of theoretical and…
