Xavier programs are designed as learning aids for these specific needs. In content and sequence, the HiSpell and Arc Spell programs are based on a major teaching programme for children with specific learning difficulties, the Bangor Dyslexia Teaching System by Elaine Miles (Whurr Publishers Ltd 2nd Edition 1992). Other programs conform to the same principles:

· They encourage a multi-sensory approach, a combination of Look, Say, Listen and Write, to help learning and memory.

· Sampled speech sound allows a phonic approach alongside the word-recognition task.

· The programs are fully interactive and the pupil controls the pace of the program in every case.

· No mistakes are presented on screen, and full support is available if the pupil is uncertain.

While each Xavier program can be used alone, overall they are intended to be complementary. For instance, words learnt in any program can be further practised in Soapbox or Word Maze, or in controlled context using the Sentence Pumper formats. These open-ended programs allow the learning of any vocabulary, and can also employ an 'own-voice dictation' learning procedure.
