What do spelling errors tell us? Classification and analysis of errors made by Greek schoolchildren with and without dyslexia (2013, background): “33, lower than English or French but higher than Czech (1.7, 1.5, and 1.0, respectively; Caravolas, 2004).”
Effectiveness of spelling interventions for learners with dyslexia: A meta-analysis and systematic review (2020, background): “The general framework of literacy development (as just described) is valid across alphabetic orthographies: It seems that in European orthographies, alphabetic skill is a predictor of reading and spelling success (Caravolas, 2004).”
Preschool cognitive and language skills predicting Kindergarten and Grade 1 reading and spelling: a cross-linguistic comparison (2009, background): “Several studies confirm that children learning to read in regular orthographies are more accurate in phonological decoding, better spellers and more fluent readers than children learning to read English (e.g. Aro & Wimmer, 2003; Caravolas, 2004; Frith et al., 1998; Goswami et al., 1997, 1998; Seymou”
Morphological awareness and early and advanced word recognition and spelling in Dutch (2008, unknown): “However, as Caravolas (2004) rightly points out, this does not suffice for competent spelling, as in many languages, spelling is also based on morphemes and on orthographic patterns that express word pronunciations which cannot be predicted by phoneme–grapheme conversion. Even though Dutch is a fair”
Using the known to chart the unknown: A review of first-language influence on the development of English-as-a-second-language spelling skill (2006, background): “However, one important methodological concern and potential limitation of cross-linguistic correlational research is the consistency with which similar constructs are operationally defined across languages ( Caravolas, 2004 ).”
