Hendersen, Leslie. 1982.Orthography and word recognition in reading. London, England: Academic Press. xiii, 397 pages. 0123405203. Location: Dallas SIL Library 372.4 H496. Interest level: academic.

Summary
 

Is a somewhat technical discussion of the relationship between

 
  • orthography
  • word recognition, and
  • reading.
 

Incorporates current thinking about the effects of reading different types of orthography. Distinguishes between orthographic rules as linguistic descriptions, as knowledge of the structure of a language, and as rules for procedures to arrive at pronunciations of print.

Evaluation
 

Is a good discussion to consider before deciding on a practical orthography.
