Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) made substantial progress with language recognition. Proficiency in spoken English reading is a prerequisite for fluency in written English. However, research on its use, especially for non-native speakers, is lacking despite increased usage. Objectives: This study aimed to enhance the oral reading fluency…

Brief experimental analyses (BEA) have been primarily used to evaluate the effects of interventional variables on reading fluency deficits. This study expanded this area of research by examining spelling interventions for students with below grade level spelling achievement. Researchers analyzed interventions addressing motivation, practice…

This paper assesses the impact of a program aimed at developing reading fluency in Brazilian students in primary school. Students were randomly assigned to participate in the program. The program was based on the repeated reading principle and consisted of group training sessions in which an instructor used diversified reading techniques to guide…

Drill-and-practice flashcard interventions are often used when students display delays in sight word recognition and word reading fluency. Sight-phrase interventions connect two to three words together to teach connected text instead of words in isolation. Although studies have shown that students can learn to read sight phrases through a…

Children with intellectual disabilities often find acquiring age-appropriate reading skills difficult. We evaluated the impact of a structured online reading intervention on the reading skills of children aged 5-11 years in special educational needs (SEN) schools in England. A two-armed cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) compared…

Many of the decisions made related to student progress and intervention selection rely on data. In their roles, paraeducators often implement academic interventions; therefore, they must be prepared to monitor students' progress accurately and reliably. This pilot randomized control trial tested the effects of a remote training package on…

The acquisition of reading skills in a person's native language is a key life component to functioning successfully within their society. Unfortunately, many German students have significant reading difficulties in their native language, German. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to translate into German and implement a promising U.S. reading…

Although many studies have shown the efficacy of using flashcard interventions to increase sight-word reading, very few have investigated ways to increase sight-phrase reading. In the current study, a concurrent multiple-baseline across students design was used to examine the effects of a tablet-based flashcard intervention on the acquisition of…

Repeated reading is an intervention with strong evidence for improving students' oral reading fluency. However, little research has examined the use of this intervention outside of traditional school contexts. School closures due to COVID-19 forced schools and teacher preparation programs to create new approaches to evidence-based reading…

This study aims to determine the effect of the digital stories on the fluent reading skills of primary school 4th-grade students. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group was used in the study. The participants comprised 46 4th-grade students from the villages of the Silvan district of Diyarbakir Province.…

Canines can provide emotional support, create a nonjudgmental environment, facilitate positive social interactions, and shape student behavior. This study investigated the impact of a canine-assisted reading program on four second-grade students' reading fluency and attitudes toward reading. Oral reading fluency (ORF) was measured using ORF…

This study explores the perceived effectiveness of an open educational reading programme for primary school pupils with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) such as dyslexia. The programme, implemented by experienced teaching assistants (TAs), encompassed multiple aspects of reading, including phonics, sight word reading, reading fluency,…

This study examined the effect of mobile-mediated dynamic assessment on reading comprehension and reading fluency skills of Iranian L2 learners. With 50 Iranian L2 learners, randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups, a pretest-posttest control group design was used. Whereas the control group received traditional instructor…

Many educators struggle to deliver effective early literacy instruction that is both research-based and responsive to diverse learning needs. IMSE's Orton-Gillingham Plus (OG+) addresses this gap by providing a Structured Literacy program grounded in explicit, systematic, and cumulative instruction. Designed for K-2 foundational literacy and…

Interactive picturebook reading is an easily accessible and enjoyable activity that provides preschoolers with opportunities to practice problem-solving skills. Increasingly, preschool age is considered the ideal time to foster problem-solving skills. This paper examines the effect of interactive picturebook reading on the problem-solving skills…
