N2 - Reading comprehension is a very important life skill, yet millions of Americans are functionally illiterate. Technology can help, but most computer-based training programs for reading skills fall short in their ability to provide self-paced, individualized learning. The Navy funded three innovative intelligent tutors that were developed based on well-recognized cognitive models of reading and learning. In addition, these tutors provide tools for customization of content. This paper reports a large-scale study of these tutors that demonstrates their teaching effectiveness when used individually and in combination. Of particular note is an ordering of the tutors that led to a skill gain of 1.1 grade levels.
