“…Many authors (Bégin, Saint‐Laurent & Giasson, 2005; Besse, 1993; Besse & ACLE, 2000; Chomsky, 1971, 1975; Clarke, 1988; David, 1997, 2001; David & Jaffré, 1997; Ferreiro, 2000; Ferreiro & Gomez‐Palacio, 1988; Ferreiro & Teberosky, 1982; Jaffré, Bousquet & Massonnet, 1999; Martins & Silva, 2006; Read, 1971, 1986; Sipe, 2001) have studied, through spontaneous writings, the evolution of written language conceptualisations in children who enter into writing. These spontaneous productions, generally referred to as invented spelling or orthography (or, according to Besse and ACLE's (2000) proposed term, approximate spellings), are seen as trial runs rather than writing containing mistakes.…”
