The Effect of Five Proofreading Conditions on the Spelling Performance of College Students with Learning Disabilities.
McNaughton, David; Hughes, Charles; Clark, Karen
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v30 n6 p643-51 Nov-Dec 1997
This study investigated effects of five proofreading conditions on the spelling performance of 12 college students with learning disabilities. Conditions were handwriting with no additional assistance, with a print dictionary, and with a handheld spelling checker; and word processing with no additional assistance and with a spelling checker. All but the first condition resulted in improved spelling. (Author/DB)
