Orthographic knowledge encompasses mental representations of letter patterns, spelling conventions, and the integration of visual and motor components for written language. Handwriting experience alters functional brain activity in pre-literate children and produces variable visual inputs that support letter recognition. Fine motor skills and executive function both contribute to kindergarten academic achievement. Teaching spelling and composition together influences writing development and the mechanics of composing. Orthographic-motor integration relates to computer use and impacts the production of creative, well-structured text. Early sensory-social experiences and critical-period plasticity influence speech and language learning. Early television exposure associates with later attentional problems.
