[Promoting reading and spelling in children with computer programs].
OBJECTIVE
Sixteen students trained their reading and spelling skills with the computer programmes Budenberg 1 and 2 and the Comles Package for 1000 minutes over a one-month period.


RESULTS
Following one month of computer training, reading test scores had improved for seven of the 16, and spelling test scores for three children whose basic performance had been poor. Three and a half months of school instruction later, the reading test scores had improved for nine children, while there was no effect upon the spelling scores for most of the students.
