Should I know about this? What are some examples?

yeah by the time you learn to read and write you are already speaking a specific dialect which regulates which sound distinctions you can hear that's not actually innate it's an inevitable part of learning a language
-
Different kids exposed to the same language have different abilities in noticing the distinctions between sounds.
-
are you talking about e.g. the difference between a kid in inner-city Baltimore and a kid in rural Ohio? b/c that is a dialect difference - same lang, big diff in phonologies
-
No. Kids in the same family
-
Oh, okay. But that's much more unusual
-
Oh I don't think it is though. Kids famously have different pronunciation difficulties (see how many speech pathologists there are), and similarly they have a wide range of spelling abilities. Based on my observation, I think spelling ability variation has a lot to do with

differences in sound recognition
