We use these two key recommendations in offering a
conceptual framework that seeks to bridge theory and
practice with respect to technology-based solutions and
effective literacy instruction for students with LD. It is
our belief that practitioners need rriore explicit guidance
in terms of selecting or designing technology-supported
(e.g., multimedia) materials to support the literacy
learning needs of students with LD. This need for
explicit guidance provides the rationale for the conceptual
framework presented here.
