The face-to-face teaching or traditional teaching methods no longer attract students, therefore, students are using e-books for e-learning nowadays. This study mainly focuses on the effect of applying electronic textbooks to Chinese teaching for junior high school students with learning disabilities. The students of junior high school with learning disorder in the school that researcher works at was selected as the case for studying, and they are divided into experimental and control groups by using pretest scores. The period of study is two semesters, and each semester is divided into three phases by using the 3 sectional examinations for experiment. In the first phase, these two groups both use paper textbooks; in the second phase, the experimental group uses electronic textbooks and the control group still uses paper textbooks; in the third phase, both of the two groups use electronic textbooks. In the end, the differences between two groups and within each group at each phase in the experimental stage are discussed. During the period of study, the observation of the reaction of the different functions of electronic textbook has also been conducted, and a questionnaire to understand the satisfaction of students for using electronic textbooks is also implemented after the experiment. The study has shown that the use of electronic textbooks for Chinese teaching not only has improved the literacy and reading abilities of students with learning disabilities, but also aroused their interest and promoted more class participation. Finally, the animation and video functions of electronic textbooks are the two most tractive functions for students and can improve students’ learning and concentration effectively.
