The 4-Step Process Online (PD376)

We know that orthographic mapping, the process of storing words in long-term memory happens best if words are driven via the phonological route. Now what? How do we make that happen for the tens of thousands of words out there?

By taking four steps:

1. Define
2. Inspect
3. Group
4. Practise
