This website discusses what orthographic knowledge is and why it is necessary in a fluent reader. There is also information provided on orthographic mapping and decoding research.

The author of this website explains the origins of orthographic mapping and exactly what it is used for. There is a review of how orthographic mapping works, as well as how the author teaches this method. This site also provides additional resources for those of you who would like to learn more.

The Keys to Literacy website is full of tons of information on teaching students how to read. This article explains how orthographic mapping is the process that all successful readers use to become fluent readers. There is also information on site words, the mental process of orthographic mapping, what it develops in students, as well as implications for teaching.

This research article discusses the orthographic-depth hypothesis as it moves along the continuum from shallow (unambiguous) to deep (ambiguous) alphabetic orthographies. In this study, the author reviews evidence on the orthographic depth hypothesis, the role it plays in reading comprehension, as well as a thorough discussion on the methods and findings of the study.

This research article discusses findings on how early readers show explicit awareness of some orthographic conventions and implicit awareness of others, but they only showed implicit awareness when they did not have to additionally decode the stimuli. These results suggest that early orthographic knowledge may be fragile and easily masked by phonological knowledge.

This site breaks down the main ideas of orthographic processing, which are decoding, phonological processing, and site recognition. There are also research based strategies that provide a brief overview included on this site as well.

This is a 30-minute webinar that examines the work of Linnea Ehri and others on orthographic mapping in the classroom. Orthographic mapping is the process by which skilled readers use phonological and orthographic proficiency to secure instant recognition of specific words in memory.

This article provides information on Orthographic Mapping and how it is used in teaching literacy. For more detailed information, there is a link to the full research article.

This video shares how memorizing site words is an ineffective method, while orthographic mapping is the suggested model. The speaker reviews the process for orthographic mapping, a researcher named Linnea Ehri, and how phonemic awareness is utilized.

The Reading League hosted a Knowledge Series for Teachers of Reading and Spelling. In this video, Dr. Maria Murray explains orthographic mapping and why it is so important.

Orthographic Mapping Part I; How We Store Words for Proficient Reading, based on Chapter Four from David Kilpatrick's book, Equipped for Reading Success.

Orthographic Mapping Part 2; How We Store Words for Proficient Reading, based on Chapter Four from David Kilpatrick's book, Equipped for Reading Success. This is an interpretation of Dr. David Kilpatrick's compilation of years of reading research that uncovers the true science of reading acquisition and indicates why students in our nation are failing to meet proficiency standards. It is a summary of what needs to happen so ALL students can be proficient readers, and it also addresses the needs of those with dyslexia.
