We investigated how and when French children in Grades 1-5 acquire orthographic representations for silent letters and double consonants.

Twice, about 12 weeks apart,…

Less fluent 9- to 12-year-olds with lower orthographic knowledge were at floor on phoneme tasks, but more fluent readers, with greater orthographic knowledge, showed significant phonemic awareness. Orthographic knowledge,…
