Abstract
We report the case of a monolingual English-speaking boy (AM) aged 10, and the intervention targeting AM’s spelling and written expression difficulties. AM’s performance was contrasted in all experimental measures to a group of 13 typically developing spellers attending the same class. Literacy and cognitive assessments revealed for AM pseudowordreading difficulties, and deficits in spelling, written expression, phonological ability, verbal memory and rapid automatised naming. AM took part in nine sessions of linguistic awareness intervention that focused on promoting simultaneous attention to phonology, orthography, morphology, semantics and syntax. Results revealed a substantial improvement in spelling, pseudowordreading, writing and handwriting. The results indicate that raising linguistic awareness can have a robust impact on spelling and written expression.
