§ Mr. Charles ClarkeThe results of the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre research project, which has just been completed, will be published in the Department's research report series in February 1999. The results from the Manchester Metropolitan University research project are being published by the University. As a result of their research the Manchester Metropolitan University has been contracted to produce a video, teacher's handbook and other materials to support the teaching of pupils with mild to moderate literacy difficulties in mainstream schools. A copy of the video and materials will be sent to the Literacy Consultant(s) in each Local Education Authority. Summaries of both research projects will be in the Department's research brief series which appears on the Internet and Intranet.
