Often raisins, cherries and choc-chips sink when I bake sponge cake. Is there a method to avoid this happening? Is it to do with when to add them, or am I baking them too fast/hot?

This is a standard british (from a 'Victoria' basic) sponge cake- items should be distributed throughout the cake, not at the top OR bottom. That type of cake is usually called (in my experience) 'upside down cake' and is a sponge pudding.

Can't see how that would happen. Sponge cakes are supposed to be baked up-side down -- like a bundt cake. Place your fruit in the bottom of the pan, and pour your batter over it. Bake it up-side down, and everything is at the top when you remove the cake.

opportunities: It says upload an egg - in case you position a small egg in there then the ratio will be too a lot sugar to something of the recipe. cakes sink for 2 motives: a million. too a lot sugar 2. taking off the oven and letting the nice and comfortable temperature out till now it has a chance to cook dinner completely. high quality controls: attempt to guarantee that you do not open the over till now that is cooked time and use 3 tablespoons of egg even as it says use large egg. in case you are able to, placed a tiny little bit a lot less sugar in than the recipe stipulates because sugar is amazingly puzzling to cook dinner with often times. often times issues in basic terms get it incorrect!

Add them 5 minutes into the cooking process.

I have not tried this but have heard that you should wait and put them in later, like just before you put into the oven. I have heard the dredging in flour first also but have not tried it either.

put them in a bowl of flour first and then take them out.....some flour will stick to the items and this will prevent them from sinking.
