Abstract
Poor performance in spelling has frequently been cited as a characteristic of dyslexics (Critchley, 1975; Naidoo, 1972; Orton, 1966; Rutter, 1978), although little attention has been devoted to its study (Cook, 1981) and remediation (Bradley, 1981) in dyslexic monolinguals and even less in dyslexic bilinguals (Luelsdorff, 1981; Luelsdorff and Marshall, 1982).
The major portion of the research for this paper was made possible by a grant from the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung.
