Abstract: . . . systematically across the word (Ehri, 1992). Finally, a shift occurs whereby the skilled reader bypasses the phonological route and uses a more direct orthographic route for the more frequent words in the language. More recently, an alternative conception of the learning process has arisen (e.g. Goswami & Bryant, 1990; Harm & Seidenberg, 1999; Snowling, Hulme, & Nation, 1997), based on advances in connectionist modelling (e.g. Plaut, 1997; Plaut et al ., 1996). According to this more recent view, staged-like . . . . . . within each word; only later will it be applied systematically across the word (Ehri, 1992).

What we are taught, under the guise of learning to read, is remarkably limited; we are taught that certain sounds correspond to certain letters on the page, that (in English at least) the correspondence is often dependent on position and/or the identity of surrounding letters, and that this correspondence is often quite unpredictable.
