Higgins, Kyle; Boone, Randy – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1993
This article reviews the use of computer-based technology in teaching reading to students with disabilities. Research from the last 10 years is examined using the metaphors of Tutor, Tool, and Agent as categories of instructional purpose. Most of the substantive data supporting computer use concerns drill and practice and tutorial assisted…

Sassi, Anthony – Computing Teacher, 1990
Describes a program that used the concept of cross-age tutoring to introduce computers to kindergarten students with the help of sixth graders. The use of FunWriter and other software is described, the importance of graphics is emphasized, and benefits to both groups of students are discussed. (LRW)

Levin, Henry M.; And Others – Evaluation Review, 1987
The cost effectiveness of four approaches to improving mathematics and reading performance of elementary school children is compared. Peer tutoring is found to be more cost-effective than computer-assisted instruction, and both are more cost-effective than reducing class size or increasing the length of the school day. (Author/JAZ)

Anderson, Jonathan – 1990
Computer-based technologies are rapidly changing fundamental concepts about texts and how students interact with and learn from those texts. Early use of microcomputers included drill and practice work, tutorial programs, and word processing. In conjunction with information storage devices like magnetic and laser disc, the microcomputer has also…
