A study compares the results of teaching reading comprehension skills with CAI versus traditional workbook methods for a group of nine high-incidence handicapped students. The design, materials and procedures of the study are briefly described. Results indicated that for all but one of the nine students, teaching with the microcomputer was more productive. In a preference questionnaire, 89 percent of the students felt that they learned more with CAI, and 67 percent indicate a preference for practicing reading skills with the microcomputer.
