In cross-language studies, Aro and Wimmer report that there are apparently different developmental tendency for English children who achieve only 50% accuracy in pseudoword testing by the end of Grade 1 and do not attain the high accuracy until Grade 4. However, in the same test, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, and Finnish children all achieve around 85% and 90% level in Grade 1 and Grade 4, respectively. This research shows the differences, especially English in comparison to other alphabetic orthographies when children learn to read in their corresponding languages.
