Abstract :
LitTech is a cost-effective, technology-assisted program for use by various literacy providers who serve the needs of the learning disabled and others. LitTech´s effectiveness is based on proven educational practices. It is individualized, multi-sensory, and mastery-oriented. The learner is simultaneously engaged in seeing, listening, speaking, and writing to achieve reading success. LitTech guides students´ learning activities. The teacher is substantially freed from non-teaching duties so that he/she can encourage learning by nurturing each student´s feeling of accomplishment each day
