The study gives a description of one year's teaching of a single aspect of
spelling to an 11-year-old boy with a phonological handicap and a
weakness in recognizing and remembering visual patterns. The aspect of
spelling taught is initial consonant clusters. Changes of approach over the
year are explained, teaching procedures are described, and details are given
of the pupil's performance at different stages of the instruction process.
Some theoretical and practical questions raised by the study are discussed.
