The content of digital storybooks focused on the differenciation of word sounds, word forms, use of punctuation marks, and reading comprehensions. It is hoped that through the interactive reading practices, students with reading difficulties can be improved in those aspects. Research results showed that the teaching with digital storybooks had overall positive effect to all students; and more significant effects to students with word-recognition disabilities, but limited effects to students with reading compresion disabilities. In terms of learning effectiveness, the results of the pre-test, post-test, and postpond-test had not reached significant differences, but students’ average scores had obvious improvements. All students gave the teaching with digital storybooks positive feedbacks and said that they like such learning method. They all hope to apply it to other subjects.
