Students' spelling can provide insight into their word-level reading skills and inform intensive reading interventions delivered within a data-based individualization framework.

This paper presents a computer based diagnostic tool developed to facilitate the learning process. The developed tool is capable of generating possible error syndromes associated with the answers received. The developed tool simulates the error pattern of the test results and then accordingly models the action plan to help in children's learning…
