Abstract
Spelling errors that occurred in the spontaneous writing of 12-yr-old children were examined. A number of errors occur that are not addressed by the conventional approaches to spelling and which can best be understood by taking account of the psychological context in which they occur. One set of errors relates more to incorrect articulation than to poor spelling. A 2nd set indicates the role of morphemic factors in the spelling of inflected words. Two other sets, one consisting of lexical substitutions, the other of words split into 2 parts, indicate the existenc of a device that monitors the identity of what is written.Keywords
