ARROW: A New Tool in the Teaching of Literacy: Report of Early Evaluation
Keywords:
ARROW, Literacy, Literacy Tool, Post-Primary, Primary, QualitativeAbstract
This article summarises part of a four year action research study in Waterford. It compares a technological evidence based literacy tool (ARROW) with four other evidence based interventions in five post-primary and ten primary schools. Gains in word reading, spelling, and comprehension across the five interventions are presented, together with qualitative results on ARROW. While ARROW compared favourably, it distinguished itself in terms of efficiency. Its gains were significantly greater relative to teaching time and learning time spent on the various interventions.
