This session, presented by Dr Nancy Mather, will describe the assessment of orthography
The presenter will: (a) clarify terminology, (b) review the characteristics of poor orthographic processing and how it impacts literacy development, and (c) describe both informal and standardized methods for assessing orthographic knowledge, including the Test of Orthographic Competence-2 (Mather et al., 2023).
One important aspect of reading and spelling development is acquiring knowledge of the orthography of a language. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to the importance of orthographic processing. In addition to phonological awareness, orthographic processing another important linguistic risk factor for dyslexia.
