摘要：

This paper describes a multimedia environment for dyslexic children which encourages them to construct their own rules for the spellings of their problem words. Synthesized speech is used to augment the written text and different levels of help are available at all times. The interesting feature of the software is that the user is encouraged to identify and then fix his/her own 'spelling bugs' by creating a specific 'bug card' for each mistake. Each bug card contains a description of the error and the correct spelling, and the user then has to create a rule which helps the correct spelling. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the software has indicated substantial and lasting improvements in the spelling and motivation of a group of dyslexic children of average age 13 years.
