Synthesis of interventions: an analysis of the effectiveness of different types of ICT interventions on a range of literacy outcomes

ABSTRACT

There were six RCTs that evaluated CAI interventions (Berninger et al. 1998; Jinkerson and Baggett 1993; MacArthur et al. 1990; Heise et al. 1991; Lin et al. 1991; Mitchell and Fox 2001). The CAI interventions consisted of studies designed to increase spelling, reading abilities or phonological awareness (pre-reading understandings).
