Moseley, David – British Journal of Special Education, 1987
Results of classroom research are reported which analyzed the spelling errors of 60 low-achieving students (ages 9-11), as well as lists of words students indicated they wanted to learn. These and other investigations were used to develop a computer-presented precision spelling program, whose features are described in detail. (JW)
