Your post is interesting to read and also captures all the essential elements in the article. I agree that the article’s primary focus is to enhance the decoding competency of poor readers by use of word identification games. The authors wanted to determine whether an intervention of a word reading game that is computer-based could be useful in improving word decoding efficiency of struggling readers. As you have stated, the response was implemented for five weeks with the administration of both pretest and posttest. The study’s findings are correct and clearly stated. Your opinions are interesting and reasonable.
