Book A Comparative Study of a Corrective Reading Program and Its Effects on Two Freshmen Reading Groups at Central Oregon Community College

Download or read book A Comparative Study of a Corrective Reading Program and Its Effects on Two Freshmen Reading Groups at Central Oregon Community College written by Horst G. Taschow and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study compared intensive corrective reading instruction with less intensive corrective reading instruction at the community college level: Group 1 students received 50 fifty- minutes of intensive corrective reading instruction during ten weeks, while Group 2 students received the same amount of corrective reading instruction during 20 weeks. Reading instruction for both groups began at the same time. After reading instruction had ceased for each group, an additional ten-week period had been given for both groups to see if the reading skills which were taught during intensive and less intensive corrective reading instruction had been maintained. Materials, techniques, and methods to be used in this study had been initially prepared and refined in a pilot study. Through lectures and demonstrations, through assigned reading practices and independent reading, development and improvement of word recognition, vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, reading rate, reading for general and specific purposes, and study skills have been sought. The purpose of instruction was to make each reading activity so clear that success was assured. The hypothesis of this study was that there will be no differences in the total reading performance between one group of community college students using the intensive corrective reading approach and a second group using the less intensive corrective reading approach. The hypothesis was tested by 70 community college students in two experimental groups, one group using the intensive and the other group using the less intensive corrective reading instruction. Findings and Conclusions 1. Mean differences and the associated t values indicated that the results between intensive and less intensive corrective reading instruction at the end of the 10- and 20-week periods did not appear to be significantly different at the .05 level of confidence between Groups 1 and 2. The Nelson-Denny Reading Test, Forms A and B, were used as standardized instruments to measure reading improvement, 2. The single factor of time between the lessons differentiating intensive and less intensive corrective reading instruction did not appear to be a significant influence on the effectiveness of corrective reading instruction. Mean differences did not indicate significant superiority of either procedure. It would appear, at least within the 10- and 20-weeks of instruction, that the intensive corrective reading instruction is as effective as the less intensive corrective reading instruction. However, a difference between immediate post-test and delayed post-test for Group 2 was significant at the .01 level of confidence in total reading. Apparently, less intensive corrective reading instruction has produced a significantly better performance in total reading for Group 2 at the time of the delayed post-test. 3. Corrective reading instruction carried out in this study did appear to make a difference in students' reading performance between pre-tests and immediate and delayed post-tests as well as between immediate and delayed post-tests of Groups 1 and 2. The differences which appeared for both groups between pre-tests and immediate and delayed post-tests of the Nelson-Denny Reading Test, Forms A and B, and A in vocabulary, comprehension, total reading, and reading rate were all statistically significant at the .001 level of confidence. 4. When immediate and delayed post-test scores were compared for Group 1 a significant difference at the .01 level was found in total reading and a significant difference at the .05 level was found in vocabulary. When immediate and delayed post-test scores were compared for Group 2 significant differences at the .001 level were found in vocabulary and total reading and significant difference at the .01 level was found in comprehension. Students' individual improvement as a result of corrective reading instruction and the retainment of the reading skills has been assessed for both groups by using the residual gain statistics, both the computational and the graphical method. Reading improvement resulted apparently from teaching and student effort regardless of the time during which intensive and less intensive corrective reading instruction was taught. Evidence from this study indicates that many more community college students might be given the opportunity to participate in reading instruction if reading courses were taught intensively as, for example, five hours per week for ten weeks rather than extending less intensive reading instruction over a longer period of time.

Book Evidence Based Practices in Deaf Education

Download or read book Evidence Based Practices in Deaf Education written by Harry Knoors and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the latest research from internationally recognized researchers and practitioners on language, literacy and numeracy, cognition, and social and emotional development of deaf learners. In their contributions, authors sketch the backgrounds and contexts of their research, take interdisciplinary perspectives in merging their own research results with outcomes of relevant research of others, and examine the consequences and future directions for teachers and teaching. Focusing on the topic of transforming state-of-the-art research into teaching practices in deaf education, the volume addresses how we can improve outcomes of deaf education through professional development of teachers, the construction and implementation of evidence-based teaching practices, and consideration of "the whole child," thus emphasizing the importance of integrative, interdisciplinary approaches.

Book Contemporary Perspectives on Reading and Spelling

Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives on Reading and Spelling written by Clare Wood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from leading international researchers, Contemporary Perspectives on Reading and Spelling offers a critique of current thinking on the research literature into reading, reading comprehension and writing. Each paper in this volume provides an account of empirical research that challenges aspects of accepted models and widely accepted theories about reading and spelling. This book develops the argument for a need to incorporate less widely cited research into popular accounts of written language development and disability, challenging the idea that the development of a universal theory of written language development is attainable. The arguments within the book are explored in three parts: overarching debates in reading and spelling reading and spelling across languages written language difficulties and approaches to teaching. Opening up the existing debates, and incorporating psychological theory and the politics surrounding the teaching and learning of reading and spelling, this edited collection offers some challenging points for reflection about how the discipline of psychology as a whole approaches the study of written language skills. Highlighting ground-breaking new perspectives, this book forms essential reading for all researchers and practitioners with a focus on the development of reading and spelling skills.
