This quantitative, quasi-experimental research study was designed to determine the impact of a computer assisted reading instruction program on the fluency rates and comprehension skills of third and fourth grade students with reading disabilities at an Ohio suburban-metropolitan elementary school. Pretests established the participants' baseline reading skills. The participants' reading progress was monitored, during twenty-week baseline and intervention periods, with weekly measures of fluency and comprehension. Posttests measured the intervention program's impact on the participants' fluency rates and comprehension skills. Results were evaluated through visual analyses of experimental data graphs and by conducting time series matched pair t confidence interval tests to determine the reading intervention program's impact on the participants' reading skills, as measured by AIMSweb reading fluency probes, STAR reading comprehension tests, and Woodcock Johnson IV tests of reading achievement. The study provided two potential benefits for participants, improved reading fluency rates and comprehension skills, and increased value-added measures of student performance on Ohio's Common Core State Standards tests; and a third unintended benefit, improved school district's and teachers' value-added evaluation scores on the Ohio State Report Card.

Can computer applications help improve student performance? For what skills, grade levels, content areas, and type of students are computer applications most effective? Can computer applications improve student attitude toward school and decrease drop-out rates? Discover what the research reveals--in this provocative new book--about these and other crucial questions concerning the impact of computer-based instruction. Assessing the Impact of Computer-Based Instruction provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date summary available on the effects of computer applications on both student achievement and attitudes. Within its pages are also the most extensive bibliography ever prepared on past reviews of research, current reports and articles, and dissertations in the area of computer uses in education. This groundbreaking new book provides educational decisionmakers with the facts they need in order to justify the expense and effort of maintaining and expanding the instructional role of computers in schools. It is also useful as a resource text in the pre-service training of computer educators and for graduate students doing research in instructional computing.

Intended as a reference for researchers, teachers, and administrators, this book chronicles research, programs, and uses of computers in reading. Chapter 1 provides a broad view of computer applications in education, while Chapter 2 provides annotated references for computer based reading and language arts programs for children and adults in classroom and clinic settings, including LOGO, cloze procedure, language experience approach, special education, spelling, Native American education, and English as a second/foreign language. Chapter 3 introduces the reader to software evaluation guidelines and criteria, including references about the development of computer based reading programs and projects. Chapter 4 reviews computer based research on teaching reading, reading assessment, and psychological and physiological aspects of the reading process. Chapter 5 presents references on word processing, writing, and reading, and Chapter 6 offers explanations for the puzzling questions surrounding computer based readability and text analysis. References to computer based activities in reading readiness and beginning reading are presented in chapter 7, while chapter 8 discusses computer managed reading instruction. Chapter 9 details advances in computer based speech technology and reading instruction and the focus in chapter 10 is on text legibility and computers. Chapter 11 provides references about recent developments with CD ROMs (Compact Disk Read Only Memory) and CDIs (compact disk interactive), and chapter 12 summarizes by speculating on the importance of other emerging applications in computer based reading, such as simulations, artificial intelligence, programming and authoring systems, telecommunications and satellite communications, and robots. Two appendixes list companies that produce software and describe integrated learning systems that contain reading and language arts software. (SKC)
