Table 4 revealed that the less-proficient reader requested the feedback tool more frequently when reading the final<br />

online text. By the assistance of the feedback tool, he not only solved his reading problems but also enhanced his<br />

reading comprehension. He initially got 3 score points (30% correct) and 5 points (50%) in text 1 and 2. He further<br />

advanced to 6 points (60% correct) and 7 points (70% correct) in text 3 and 4. An exemplary test item in Adventure<br />
