Also, the researcher interviews the related persons to estimate social validity. The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1. Multimedia computer instruction has its effectiveness in word recognition learning of elementary students with reading disability. 2. Multimedia computer instruction enhances the motivation in word recognition learning of elementary students with reading disability. 3. Elementary students with reading disability are able to operate touchscreen to learn independently. 4. The multimedia computer instruction can improve academic performance.
