Comparison of Add-a-Word and Compu Spell Programs with Low-Achieving Students.
McAuley, S. M.; McLaughlin, T. F.
Journal of Educational Research, v85 n6 p362-69 Jul-Aug 1992
The effectiveness of two spelling software programs on the weekly spelling performance of underachieving elementary students was studied. Students learned the programs, and data were collected over the school year. Data analyses indicated both programs generated higher accuracy in spelling than traditional procedures. Students sustained the achievement throughout the study. (SM)
