Students with text decoding difficulty ($N=62$) were randomly assigned to one of three modes: auditory mode, pictorial mode, 5 full functions mode. A quasi-experimental design was used to measure reading comprehension. Although differences were not significant among all of the modes, the findings indicate that all modes of reading browser with dynamic alternative text multimedia dictionaries were successful in promoting reading.}, identifier = {05757043}, }
