The two major purposes of the Project are to:

1. Evaluate the computer-based comprehensive reading programs for effective instructional design components and adaptability with various students with disabilities.

2. Evaluate the comparative efforts of a comprehensive Direct Instruction computer based program with another popular local reading programs on  the acquisition of beginning reading skills of K-2 grade children with reading difficulties when implemented by parents and teachers. The evaluative studies are conducted  simultaneously with both parents and teachers/paraprofessionals working with  K-2 grade children with reading difficulties in Ohio and Northern Utah.
