Abstract
The present authors created an electronic book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, with Media Overlays and conducted a school activity for a student with Down's syndrome to improve his reading ability. Continuous activity using the electronic book with Media Overlays resulted in that he could come to read the phrases as a unity and decrease reading times and mistakes very effectively. These results indicate that the e-books with Media Overlays will help the students with a reading disability to improve their readings very effectively.
