It's not a scientific experiment, and I'd really like to know what the  
test was, but The Australian is reporting "GRAMMAR and punctuation  
among Year 3 students have improved since the introduction of national  
tests in literacy, with last year's results also showing a rise in the  
reading skills of primary school students." The story suggests that  
teachers who have been teaching grammar are getting better results,  
but it appears to be entirely anecdotal.
