Reading and Technology

Technology offers both new challenges and opportunities to readers, and changes the vista of reading research. This article focuses on the use of technology to support the development of print-literacy knowledge and skills in the areas of: emergent literacy, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary. The authors describe research on the use of technology to support comprehension in three ways: supporting decodingdecoding, offering multiple representations of information, and teaching students to be more strategic in their reading of text. Finally, the authors consider reading on the Internet.
