Abstrakt: The purposes of this study were to find out (1) whether English-speaking American children construct the same developmental levels in spelling as the Spanish-speaking children studied by Ferreiro and Teberosky (1979/1982) and by Ferriero and Gómez Palacio (1982), and (2) whether English-speaking children, too, make their first letter-sound correspondences through syllables. One-hundred ninety-two kindergarten children were individually asked to write eight words such as “punishment,” “cement,” and “pop.” The developmental levels were found to be similar, but there were some differences between the English-speaking and Spanish-speaking children, especially with respect to the first phoneme-grapheme correspondences they made.
