This article reports the effectiveness of a brief intervention aimed at achieving fluency in basic ballet moves in a 9-year-old Norwegian girl by use of frequency-building and Precision Teaching procedures. One nonfluent ballet move was pinpointed, and instructional and training procedures designed to increase the frequency of accurate responding…

Since the early work of Anne Desjardin (1980) and others, Precision Teachers have developed Big 6+6 skills in their students' repertoires when needed. In this article, the authors present the Standard Celeration Chart (SCC) which documents how they analyzed the Big 6+6 skill of "squeeze" in terms of arranging sequences of instruction. The SCC…

This article describes the eight-step precision teaching program and reports on this method's use with four British elementary students with reading difficulties. In comparison to two control groups, children receiving precision teaching made substantially greater gains in reading comprehension and slightly greater gains in reading accuracy. (DB)

Two interventions, both using repeated readings combined with a simple error correction technique and precision teaching, were used with two at-risk elementary students to improve their oral reading skills. Both interventions (language experience approach stories and passages from a basal reading program) worked equally well. (JDD)
