Increasing First Graders' Reading Accuracy and Comprehension by Accelerating Their Reading Rates.

Breznitz, Zvia

Journal of Educational Psychology, v79 n3 p236-42 Sep 1987

Four experiments were conducted to determine the effects on decoding mistakes and comprehension of text passages at fastest and slowest reading rates. Subjects included 181 Israeli first graders and 60 American first graders. Subjects reading at their normal maximum speed averaged fewer errors and higher comprehension. (Author/LMO)
