-> When children encounter new information about standard spelling, they
-> readily modify their hypotheses and have no difficulty adopting
-> standard spelling.
This statement is a bunch of baloney, IMHO. If learning correct spelling

need would there be to tolerate this developmental stuff?
-> Important foundations of learning to spell are set with the use of
-> invented spelling.
