Results of analysis of 1,377 spelling error forms including three categories of spelling errors (consonantal, vowel, and sequential) demonstrate that majority of spelling errors are highly predictable when set of predefined rules based on phonological and sequential considerations are followed algorithmically. Eleven references and equivalent phonemes used are appended. (EJS)
