Tools to Detect and Mitigate Writing Errors in Secondary Schools 

The CORRIGE project aims to combat learning disadvantages, school dropout, and poor basic skills. The project seeks to provide secondary school students and their teachers with informal digital tools that can be incorporated into everyday teaching practices to improve written language performance by reducing writing errors. In this way, the risk of school dropout and difficulties accessing higher education or the job market is reduced.

Project Objectives:
The CORRIGE project aims to:

Create a digital atlas of writing errors and the history of literacy over time and across different writing traditions.
Develop a self-assessment tool to identify the most suitable emergency measures to reduce spelling errors.
Publish a CORRIGE e-Booklet that describes the project and explains the use of the tools through the experiences of teachers and students.
Create a training package for teachers.
Launch a multi-channel dissemination and communication campaign to promote the use of CORRIGE tools.
