Abstract: 
Numerous literature reviews and meta-analyses have examined the effectiveness of technology-based interventions in enhancing the reading skills of students facing difficulties in this area. However, given the rapid advancements in technology, it is crucial to review the most recent studies and their implementation methods in order to support students who are performing below their peers. This paper aims to consolidate the latest published research on technology-based interventions designed to improve reading abilities in children with reading difficulties. Fluency skills were the primary focus of the majority of technology-based interventions, with computer programs being the most commonly employed tool.
