Krohn, K. R., Skinner, C. H., Fuller, E. J., & Greear, C.

2012

Using taped interventions to target basic numeracy skills

4 kindergarten students (two boys and two girls)

3 Hispanic students (Anita, Cristina, and Carlos)

1 African-American (David)

Survey

Survey

Corresponding worksheets to audiotape recordings of numbers, trials consisting of one second tone signals at the start of the trial, two seconds delay of student attempts to read numbers aloud, reading of recorded numbers in English

Using multiple baseline design to evaluate the effects of tapped numbers interventions

Results indicated an increasing number of accuracy identification among all participants.

Tape assisted interventions supported a wider population of learners.

Aldemir, O., & Gursel, O.

2014

Using constant time delay when teaching a group of children to enhance speech fluency.

4 children with developmental disabilities ageing between 4-6

3boys and 1 girl

No observations made

Survey

Training sessions to determine constant time delay procedures, use of small-group teaching arrangements to evaluate individual criteria for acquired skills

Teaching academic skills to pre-school children in small-group arrangements as a measure of preparing them to a future education environment.

Participants yielded positive results as children’s performances and learning rates increased in the small group teaching arrangement.

The quality of research and responses validate the research study as well as validate the hypothesis. Interestingly, the rewarding of children with food must have been a good motivation that propelled them to performance. On the other hand, ignoring wrong reactions might have not worked well for some children who necessarily might have felt the need to be recognized. I tend to think that appreciating and correcting them would be better.

To measure the ability of computer programs in teaching sight word recognition to children with developmental disabilities.

4-young children with developmental disabilities with no previous experience and systematic teaching procedures (David, Jeff, Joe and Carl)

There is need for careful teacher observation to student interaction with computer programs so as to integrate more content into the curriculum. Additionally, careful examination should be conducted on computer programs that record the best interaction rates with students.

Survey

The use of constant time delay procedures involving sounds, texts, videos and animations

Using multimedia computer program inserted to a 5-second constant time- delay procedure was effective in teaching sight words

Graphs recording data for each participant revealed that the intervention program was effective in teaching sight to the students with learning disabilities

The choice of using computer programs is commendable especially when dealing with young children. In addition, the combination of both qualitative and quantitative data gives the study a sense of professionalism.

Integrating silent reading fluency into literacy instructional programs as a means of increasing fluency among elementary school children.

No participants

Silent reading and the amount of time spent reading is associated with improved students reading achievement.

Survey

Combining allocated reading time with motivational practices to increase reading stamina

Developing discussions for the betterment of both oral and silent reading practice and frequent reading.

Marrying instructional strategies such as developmental considerations, and conditions of reading practice that encourage and motivate silent and fluent reading.

Using supportive class environment such as the physical outlook and organization of literacy classrooms to improve fluency.

Silent reading interventions such as Scaffolded Silent Reading and R5 have the ability of increasing fluency among elementary school children

A marvelous research article with relevant literature review equis learners with the ability to maintain their interests in books and keep their eyes on books.

Kuhn, M., Rasinski, T., & Zimmerman, B

2014

Developing cultures of effective reading with understanding as a measure to gain effective fluency

18 children randomly selected from 5 classrooms

FORI and FDL fluency lessons are viable approaches for developing reading fluency among elementary students experiencing fluency difficulties.

Hasbrouck and Tindal’s fluency norms assessed students’ reading fluency improvement.

Wide Reading Fluency Oriented Reading Instruction, repeatedly reading three texts for a period of five days, pre-reading activities for the primary text of the week, developing vocabulary, making predictions about the content of passages, teachers reading sections of texts while the students echo read the same text to provide students with the chance to work with their partners in order to re-read the text again.

Intensive repetition over multiple days to master fluency, Echo reading of several sentences to prevent students from relying on their memory when repeating the next time,

Reading rates of words per minute in children increased tremendously.

Fluency lessons were also viable approaches towards the development of reading fluency

This is a very good approach towards the development of teaching programs that can be altered to fit particular student and teacher circumstances.

The purpose of the study was to examine the use of small group interventions in increasing reading fluency among elementary aged students

4 second-grade students with average – below average reading skills from a rural school

No observations recorded

Survey

Assessment of reading fluency by reading passages using CBM administrative and scoring procedures

Oral Reading Fluency Intervention Reading Probes, Listening Passage Preview in groups, making Repeated Readings in groups and Grouping students together and reading the scripted instructions.

Students were able to read words correct per minute 2 days after the intervention.

There was also improvement from all interventions 2 days later.

Compared to other intervention conditions, Repeated Reading conditions was recorded as the most effective one.

A very good study with both qualitative and quantitative research. The use of a group of students from a rural school in the experiment is exceptional in the piece of work.

Compare oral reading fluency treatments which utilize different response prompts

3rd grade student- Lucas

No observations recorded

Survey

Reading a novel passage twice

Rewards were awarded when passages were read more quickly and with minimal errors

Phase drill error corrections and repeated reading heightened a participant’s ability to read fluently.

Using Repeated readings to improve language and word retrieval skills

2 fourth-grade readers with learning disabilities

No observations were recorded

Survey

vocabulary-building exercises, spelling patterns, roots and affixes

Repetitive mention of spellings of words

There were impressive improvements in listening skills, decoding information and reading fluently.

The use of spelling patterns was quite interesting and helpful to the participants. In the addition, creation of semantics, morphology, orthography, and phonological awareness enables participants be able to decode important figures of speech.
