The Effects of Two Repeated Reading Interventions on Generalization of Fluency.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weinstein, Gloria; Cooke, Nancy L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1992
A study involving four male beginning readers with learning disabilities compared the effects on gains in fluency of two types of mastery criteria. One required students to reread a passage until they demonstrated 3 successive improvements; the other required rereading until 90 correct words per minute were reached. Both were successful;…
