This book was released on 2014 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important reading skill that is often overlooked by educators is reading fluency. There is a paucity of studies that have investigated computer programs that address this and other critical reading skills. Reading AssistantTM is a form of computer assisted instruction that uses speech recognition technology and research supported strategies to target reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of Reading AssistantTM on the oral reading fluency and comprehension skills of second through third grade students considered at risk for reading failure. A total of eight participants were involved in this study across a 6- to 8-week intervention period. In order to evaluate the impact of Reading AssistantTM, a multiple baseline across participants design was used. Multiple sources of data were collected to determine the overall effectiveness of the Reading AssistantTM computer program. Data for reading fluency was collected using AIMSweb reading curriculum based measurement (CBM) probes while data for reading comprehension was collected using AIMSweb maze CBM probes. The effect of the Reading AssistantTM computer program was also evaluated by determining the rate of improvement (ROI) as well as by calculating the percentage of non-overlapping data points (PND). The results of this study suggest that Reading AssistantTM may have been somewhat effective for improving the oral reading fluency and reading comprehension skills, but only for some of the participants. The effect size data do not provide a convincing demonstration that Reading AssistantTM had a substantial impact on the majority of struggling readers involved in this study. Further research is needed to establish the effectiveness of Reading AssistantTM as an intervention for reading fluency.

Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study used a multiple baseline across students design to examine the effects on fluency rate and comprehension of six African American adolescent males. The participants were between the ages of 12 and 15 years, referred by their teacher/administrator as being "at risk" for reading problems. The repeated readings intervention involved vocabulary instruction, model reading, systematic error correction, and performance feedback. Culturally/gender relevant materials were used in the intervention. Results from this study support the effectiveness of repeated readings to increase the reading fluency for all six participants, however, a functional relationship between the intervention and the improvement in the students' ORF scores was only supported by five of the six participants. There were no substantial improvements in the comprehension skills of the participants.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effectiveness of Headsprout Early Reading to augment fluency abilities for second grade students in an urban public school system. Headsprout, a Computer-Assisted Instruction program (CAI), provided internet-based reading instruction based on the National Reading Panel's recommendations. All second grade students were assessed to determine who would use the program. Second grade students who participated in Headsprout sessions were compared with second grade students who did not use Headsprout. All participants were assessed again at the end of the study.Analysis of the students' gains was conducted using a Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance (R-ANOVA). It revealed that the participants showed more growth from their entry benchmark and exit benchmark scores than from their entry benchmark and mid-entry benchmark scores. Results of a Regression-Discontinuity Data design approach analysis showed an observable "discontinuity" between the mean averages for the treatment group and control group. Overall, results were more significant for those studentswho had participated in the program.

Download or read book The Impact of Read Naturally on Oral Reading Fluency Skills for First and Second Grade Students Participating in a Response to Intervention Instructional Model written by Amy Gilcrest Falk and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the impact of Read Naturally, a research-based intervention which utilizes repetitive reading, with 10 first and second grade students considered at risk or some risk in oral reading fluency (ORF) (Ihnot & Ihnot, 1996). The researcher utilized a Response to Intervention (Rtl) Model over a 4-week, 2-month, and 6-month period. Data were collected using Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS®) and pre-and post-scores from Read Naturally (Good & Kaminski, 2002; Ihnot & Ihnot, 1996). Historical data were also used to measure the words read per minute in Group A and Group B in the pre-test. ORF data were examined to ascertain responsiveness or non-responsiveness to the intervention for each student. Collected data were used to determine whether a student had a specific learning disability (SLD). Quantitative data suggested that implementing Read Naturally over a 2-month and 6-month period increased ORF skills. Student inconsistent attendance and time over the 4-week period resulted in inconclusive data. The researcher emphasized the importance of fidelity of instruction, on-going professional development, and time for collaboration amongst educators. The researcher argued that Rtl should be used in the process of determining if a student has a SLD. She focused on early intervention utilizing a preventative model instead of the discrepancy model, or psycho-educational assessments, which focus on qualification for special education.
Download or read book Investigating the Effects of a Repeated Reading Intervention for Increasing Oral Reading Fluency with Primary Braille reading Students Using Curriculum based Measurement Within a Response to Intervention Framework written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the predictive validity of early reading skills for future reading proficiency, early assessment and intervention in the primary grades are of vital importance. The stakes are particularly high for those students who are deemed "at risk" for current and future reading problems. Students who are blind and read braille may be at enhanced risk for literacy problems relating, for example, to reading speed and accuracy, or oral reading fluency (ORF) (Coppins & Barlow-Brown, 2006). However, the field of visual impairment lacks a "body of empirically-based, experimental research" to inform the development and use of interventions to address such reading challenges (Ferrell, Mason, Young, & Cooney, 2006, p. 4). The purpose of this study is to build on the limited repeated reading research that shows promise for improving ORF for students with visual impairments, targeting braille-reading students evidencing ORF-related challenges in the critical primary grades. The intervention design was informed by the Instructional Hierarchy's (Raring, Lovitt, Eaton, & Hansen, 1978) stage model of learning such that the intervention was matched to the skill-based needs of the participants (Daly & Martens, 1994). Accordingly, the intervention drew heavily on empirically validated best practices, employing curriculum based measurement (CBM) and user-friendly assessment materials to investigate the effects of a repeated reading intervention on ORF within a Response to Intervention (RTI) framework. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline design was used to investigate whether there was a functional relationship between the implementation of the repeated reading intervention and ORF and comprehension. Participants' response to the intervention was measured using assessment materials designed as High Content Overlap (HCO) passages and Low Content Overlap (LCO) passages. The study also investigated the social validity of the intervention for teachers for students with visual impairments (TVIs).

This book was released on 2008 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The non-fluent readers in my second grad classroom had low fluency and comprehension scores, but were not eligible for additional reading assistance through Title 1 or special educational instruction. I implemented the Read Naturally program, a repeated reading program, with these students over a nine week period during the first quarter of the 2008-2009 school year. The Standardized Test for the Assessment of Reading, the Basic Reading Inventory, and fluency probes, which are measures used by the Alburnett Community School District, were given as pretests and posttests for this pre-experimental approach to research, utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest design. Teacher recorded bi-weekly comprehension and fluency assessments, as well as a journal were utilized to monitor the progress of the subjects during the treatment period. Students worked with Read Naturally for 30 minutes, four times per week. Read Naturally is a fluency based program which utilizes repeated reading strategies to improve and develop the skills necessary to become fluent oral readers through the utilization of books, audiotapes, and computer software to develop speed, accuracy, and proper expression in oral reading practices. Results showed significant gains in the areas of fluency and comprehension of students involved in the study. Te results may be due to the implementation of the Read Naturally program.
