[Marburg Spelling Training program--results of a brief intervention].
OBJECTIVE
The Marburg Spelling Training Program was administered to a sample of 10 spelling-disabled primary school pupils (2nd-4th graders) over three months in an individual setting.


RESULTS
Statistical analyses yielded significant improvements in spelling and reading test performances, but none yet in the emotional stress caused by the problems.


CONCLUSIONS
The Marburg Spelling Training Program has now proven to be effective not only in long-term, but also in short-term intervention.
