Abstract
This article examines how changes in the nature of text, brought about by its electronic representation, will increasingly affect the circumstances of struggling readers. It is argued that the textual transformation now in progress holds great promise for such readers. The emerging view of reading disability based on developmental stage theory is discussed, and this perspective is used to recommend instructional approaches that are appropriate to successive stages of reading acquisition.Keywords
