The study investigated effect of phonological regularity of phonetic compound characters on writing and its development. Students from grade 2, 4 and 6 with normal non-verbal IQ, Chinese reading ability and visual-spatial perceptual abilities were recruited. Writing to dictation on 16 characters, embedded in compound words, with phonological regularity, character frequency and stroke number controlled was implemented. Correct percentage was analyzed using 2-way ANOVA. Results showed regularity effect in grade 6. Error patterns suggested second graders processed at logographeme level while students from grade 4 onwards processed at radical level for writing. Sixth graders mastered regularity rule more proficiently than fourth graders as they had larger proportion of phonetic radical accessing error in regular than in irregular condition.
