CHAPTER 3<br />

THE SCHEMES AND THEIR EVALUATIONS<br />

This chapter describes the 25 schemes, in three sections:<br />

- general schemes targeting reading and, in some cases, spelling<br />

- schemes which involve the use of ICT<br />

- the few experiments of any rigour which have investigated how to improve writing.<br />

Within each section the schemes are dealt <strong>with</strong> in alphabetical order. Each description<br />

contains an outline of the scheme itself, followed by a few details of its evaluation, and<br />

references. Where the report which is referenced may be difficult to obtain (<strong>for</strong> example, if it<br />

is an unpublished mimeograph), a contact address is also given. First, some general<br />

characteristics of the 25 schemes are summarised in Table 4 on page 20.<br />
