Despite the fact that the participants in the current investigation improved their ORF and, in general, their comprehension, there were some limitations to the study. Therefore, some caution is warranted when interpreting these findings.
Intervention Implemented in the Clinical Setting
The results of this study support the use of RN as an effective intervention for students who are at-risk for reading failure. However, the RN intervention was implemented in an empty classroom with only the experimenter and another student. Even though there was noise in the hallway and an adjacent classroom, the room was virtually free from distractions. The experimenter was also available for the participants at any time throughout the intervention.
These conditions are not typical in most classrooms, especially in urban schools. There is a minimum amount of supervision that is needed in order to ensure that the students interact appropriately with the program. The effectiveness of this program may differ if implemented in the natural classroom environment under less supervision; or

even in a computer lab when the whole class might be using the RN program at the same time. Future research is needed to determine the effectiveness of RN under more typical
