A Computer-Based Program of Word Study: Effects on Reading and Spelling.

Weber, William R.; Henderson, Edmund H.

Reading Psychology, v10 n2 p157-71 1989

Investigates whether a computer-based word study method, emphasizing automaticity of response, would improve students' word recognition, spelling, and oral reading performance. Finds support for a verbal efficiency theory of reading, in which the key to developing reading efficiency is developing word recognition that is automatic. (RS)
