The study was done on 314 students in the lower end of elementary school. Results demonstrated positive results in areas of alphabetic awareness.

"When using a computer, students can be presented with auditory, visual and tactile-kinaesthetic stimuli as they learn" (Ness 2013, p.16).

"enables instruction to be tailored to individual students, can allow for self paced learning, can provide immediate feedback to students and that CAI can be both fun and engaging for students, especially for those who have reading difficulties" (Ness 2013, P.16)

This intervention was done in a one-on-one setting for about 30 mins each time. Results from this study indicated that the intervention assisted in improvements to various areas of reading abilities.

"The program prepared in the research was a one-on-one reading intervention because the reading difficulty is actually special in its own right and should be applied individually for each student" (Bastug 2016, p.609).

These reading interventions are focused on students who are reading below grade level. The small group reading instruction ensured for 43% longer reading instruction each week. Phonics skills were addressed more frequently in small group instruction. Fluency, reading comprehension, and vocabulary were addressed in all group levels.

"It would be misleading to conclude from these findings that providing increasing intensity of services to the students most at risk (for example, students whose screening test scores are far below the cut point) is inappropriate or ineffective" (Balu 2015, p.17).

The final results of this study displayed an increase of students' positive behavior and reading abilities.

Some teacher resource problems can be alleviated through the use of computer based programs (Council 2016, p.243).

"The instrction can be delivered in a consistent, pedagogically prescribed manner, fairly free of instructional error" (Council 2016, p.243).

This study showed the positive connection between students increasing their reading abilities and working with their parents on reading outside of school.

This study stressed the importance of giving specific materials to parents to show them exactly what they need to be working on (Pagan 2014, p.20).

"It is hoped that children will be emotionally engaged in the material they read and draw satisfaction from the activity itself" (Pagan 2014, p.3).

Elissa (2014) explained that, "understanding the instructional needs of children with specific reading disabilities is still a major concern of educators and researchers" (p.69).

"Poor reading skills result in lower overall academic achievement. People without the ability to read quickly, effortlessly, and automatically are ill-equipped to function well in today's society" (Elissa 2014, p.69).

"The awareness of phonological structure of a word helps children to draw connections between the spoken form of a word and its written representation" (Elissa 2014, p.70).

The purpose of this study was to measure the effectiveness of leveled literacy interventions on struggling readers. I chose this article to see the effect of leveling reading and targeting specific areas that students need to work on. The idea of having intervention program to improve struggling reader's abilities is not a new concept. "Early intervention programs were created to assist struggling readers and the teachers that were working with them to achieve grade level reading" (Flynn 2015, p.8).

Along with the need to intervene with reading, positive environments must also be set when assisting students in this area. "Poor feelings about one's self can have a dramatic impact on the development and achievement of young children. Negative self-esteem can be compounded by struggles in school; specifically with reading struggles" (Flynn 2015, p.9). This is one reason that assisting positive behaviors is very important when providing interventions for reading.

"It is known that in grades 1-3 students are learning to read, and students in grades 4 and up are reading to learning" (Flynn 2015, 22). This is why it is so important to ensure that gaps are found and addressed as soon as possible.

"It is a critical part of reading that allows readers to quickly and efficiently identify and link words for comprehension" (Martin 2014, p.2).Due to this importance of fluency, this study examined different interventions that focused on the skill of reading fluency to see its impact on struggling readers.

"Studies have shown that without reading fluency, students spend most of their time decoding and losing comprehension retention. By strengthening phonemic awareness and fluency, students are able to focus more on comprehension and less time on decoding" (Martin 2014, p.5). This study showed that focusing on these areas had positive effects on both students with and students without learning disabilities.

Some of these skills included phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and other in depth concentrations on the meanings of text. This study concluded that concentrating on multiple areas of reading will help to improve overall abilities.

"I would recommend that teachers expose their students to a wide variety of literature genre and formats and to encourage their students to try new authors or books that are unfamiliar to them" (Weih 2013, p.51).

"help him improve dramatically into a confident reader who was then able to enjoy reading" (Weih 2013, p.51).
