has been conducted on technology's effects on reading retention but not comprehension. Now, teachers are including technology in their lessons to
teach their students how to use these technological tools. Therefore, technology has become an integral aspect of the school system, because of
this; instructional technology has been used to improve students reading comprehension (Cuevas, Russell, Irving, 2012).
Through the use of various technological instruments; such as e–readers and iPads, and web–based systems (Welch, 2010), technology has a
potential to help improve a student's reading abilities. Many times students will be faced with on–screen text rather than the paper copies, through
these tools, they are given more resources and opportunities to explore the text they are reading. With web–based systems teachers are able to
utilize the resources given that help test and encourage reading achievement. However, these tools should be used alongside instruction rather
