Abstract

This article provides examples of ways that computer-assisted instruction can help children with learning disabilities (LD) learn to read more effectively. Computer-assisted instruction and practice in reading is fit within an instructional model for LD children that recognizes their special needs for assistance in acquiring accurate and fluent word identification skills. The theory that reading disabilities are phonologically based is discussed as a context for focusing instruction on alphabetic reading skills. Computer programs that provide training in phonological awareness, specific context-free word identification skills, and reading of connected text are described, and preliminary evidence about their instructional effectiveness is presented.
