Description The purpose of the current study was to empirically evaluate the effectiveness of a specifically designed iPad app to administer the time-delay taped-words intervention. This study is an extension of previous research that has shown the time-delay taped-words intervention to be effective at improving reading fluency. Results of the current study include an increase in word reading as well as generalized increases in oral reading fluency for all participants. Additionally, results from the acceptability survey indicated that the intervention app was well received by both teachers and students. Implications for future research using mobile devices to administer interventions are discussed.
