TI - Eye movement while evaluating the correctness of spelling as an indicator of the development of spelling awareness in adolescents with a spelling disorder
AB - 
	In this paper we discuss the problem whether the disorder of the development of spelling awareness visible in the form of spelling errors occurs at the level of the visual perception of words. It was assumed that, in an eye-tracker study, adolescents aged 13–15 years with a spelling disorder (N = 32) will have a different pattern of eye movement in the task of evaluating the correctness of spelling in word and pseudo-word tasks than good spellers (N = 19).
	The main result was the lack of inter-group differences with regard to most indicators of eye movement. This means that both groups examine the words with a spelling diffi culty in a similar, visual way. There is no difference between the level of engagement and direction of visual attention. The disorder of the development of spelling awareness, therefore, is not the result of the problems with perception and attention.
