This study adopted a withdrawal design of single-subject research design method. The participants comprised 3 special education students with moderate intellectual disabilities. The independent variable was the instruction applying digital pen with with pictographic word recognition, and the dependent variable was the learning effects of the literacy education. The experiment continued for 11 weeks, which were divided into a 1-week baseline period, a 7-week intervention period, a 2-week interval, and a 1-week maintenance period. A literacy test developed by the researchers was administered to the students, and the test scores were examined using a line chart, visual analysis andthe C statistic. The immediate and retained effects were explored from various perspectives based on each part of the test and the overall test.The results of the experiment are summarized as follows: 1. The word- pronouncing abilities of the 3 participants were substantially affected immediately and in the long run. 2. The phrase-making abilities of the 3 participants were substantially affected immediately and in the long run. 3.Regarding the abilities of watching picture-n-writing and the overall literacy, Participants A and B were substantially affected immediately and in the long run, whereas Participant C was immediately affected, but not affected notably in the long run. According to the aforementioned summary, this paper proposes suggestions for future studies on literacy and instruction applying digital pen with pictographic word recognition for students diagnosed with moderate intellectual disabilities.
