ABSTRACT
Orthographic processing involves complex mental coordination to make strategic eye movements such as fixations, saccades, and regressions. It also requires knowledge of English graphemes and practice with print strategies for recognizing graphs. This chapter includes charts of English consonant and vowel graphemes. Word recognition involves both a familiarity check and lexical access. This chapter attempts to describe the cognitive architecture and Linguistic Infrastructure underlying spelling for both English L1 and L2 readers.
