[[Orthography]] describes or defines the set of symbols used in a language, and the rules about how to write these symbols. Orthographic Development proceeds in increasing complexity as a person learns to read. Some of the first things to be learnt are the orthographic conventions such as the direction of reading and that there are differing typefaces and capitalization for each symbol. In general, this means that to read proficiently, the reader has to understand elements of a written language.
===Practice===
Repeated exposure to print improves many aspects of learning to read and most importantly the knowledge of individual words. It increases the speed at which high frequency words are recognized which allows for increased [[fluency]] in reading. It also supports orthographic development, [[reading comprehension]] and [[vocabulary]] development. Research suggests there is value in reading words both in isolation and in context. Reading words in isolation promotes faster reading times and better memory for spellings; whereas, reading words in context improves semantic knowledge and comprehension.<ref> {{cite document|url=https://ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rrq.334|title=The Science of Learning to Read Words: A Case for Systematic Phonics Instruction, Linnea C.
