he most important finding is that texting does not erode children's ability to read and write
children are able to realize what the abbreviation stands for, they are aware that it is not the proper form
Children could not be good at texting if they had not already developed considerable literacy awareness. Before you can write and play with abbreviated forms, you need to have a sense of how the sounds of your language relate to the letters.
