Reading acquisition is under the influence of the structure and function of the language itself, the individual's capacity to learn and the differential methods of instruction. Alphabetic languages vary from the bidirectionally consistent phoneme–grapheme–phoneme units of Finnish, to English as the most inconsistent for small units, but the latter of which increases in consistency as a function of increasing size of the unit (e.g., rime). Nonalphabetic Chinese places a heavy learning load through its inherently meaning-based logographic structure. Computer-assisted literacy training (e.g., GraphoGame) tailored to language features, teaching practices, and learner specific requirements can provide an adaptive and motivational learning experience.
