The present study examined the components of end of kindergarten writing, using data from 242 kindergartners. Specifically of interest was the importance of spelling, letter writing fluency, reading, and word- and syntax-level oral language skills in writing. The results from structural equation modeling revealed that oral language, spelling, and letter writing fluency were positively and uniquely related to writing skill after accounting for reading skills. Reading skill was not uniquely related to writing once oral language, spelling, and letter writing fluency were taken into account. These findings are discussed from a developmental perspective.

The present study extends previous research reporting that orthographic forms, such as the use of a single letter or two letters to indicate the same sound, affect sound duration in second-language (L2) production. Native-language (L1) Korean L2 English sequential bilinguals performed a delayed repetition task for word pairs containing the same consonant or vowel spelled with one or two letters. Korean provided an interesting case because (1) it has an alphabetic orthographic system but not a Roman alphabet and thus, there may be no interorthographic interference and (2) it has no phonemic length contrast for vowels, whereas there is some disagreement on the contrastiveness of the consonant length, which can lead to an asymmetry in the grapheme-to-phoneme correspondence between vowels and consonants.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess cognitive changes after surgery that involved removing areas of the brain with significant high-gamma power modulations (HGM) during a visual naming task, even though these areas were not identified as language-critical during standard electrical stimulation mapping.
- Researchers analyzed the cognitive outcomes of 37 drug-resistant epilepsy patients one year after surgery, highlighting the effects of lesioning HGM language sites on various neuropsychological assessments, specifically measuring reliable change indices (RCIs).
- Results showed that lesioning even one HGM language site was associated with significant declines in scores for vocabulary, working memory, and verbal learning, indicating that these areas play an important role in cognitive function, despite being categorized as non-language sites through electrical mapping.
