Abstract Details

2010, Master of Education, Ohio State University, EDU Physical Activity and Educational Services.
A descriptive study was completed on the impact of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and parental involvement on the reading performance of students identified with disabilities. This study consisted of three participants (one 3rd grader, one 5th grader and one 6th grader) and took place in the virtual environment of an online public charter school. An evaluation was completed on the existing computer based program, Unique Reader. Participants were asked to work with the computer-based Unique Reader program and report the level of parental involvement for each session in the program. Data collected with this study suggests a relationship between the level of parental involvement during the Unique Reader sessions and the level of student participation in this program. Data from pre and post assessments using the DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency benchmarks also suggests a relationship between participation in the Unique Reader program and overall reading performance.
