An alternating-treatments design was used to investigate the relative effectiveness of two error-correction procedures, word supply and phonic analysis, on the oral reading performance of five elementary-school learning disabled students, four boys and one girl. All subjects had deficient oral reading skills. Results indicated that (a) increased oral reading rates were related to systematic correction procedures, and (b) the word-supply procedure was relatively superior to the phonic analysis method. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed, as are suggestions for future investigations and implications for instruction.

An alternating-treatments design was used to investigate the relative effects of two oral reading previewing procedures: (a) silent: the student reads silently the assigned reading passage prior to reading it aloud, and (b) listening: the teacher reads the assigned selection aloud with the student following along silently prior to the student reading the passage aloud. Five junior-high school learning disabled students, four boys and one girl, participated in the study. In four of five cases results showed that systematic prepractice procedures were related to higher performance levels than was baseline (no prepractice). Differential effects were noted: the listening procedure was related to higher rates of words read correctly than was the silent procedure. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for research and instructional procedures, especially as these relate to adolescent learners.

Recent investigations of instructional effectiveness have identified a core of teacher behaviors that result in increased student academic performance. One such behavior, correction of student errors, was examined in the present study. An alternating-treatments design with two phases was used to investigate the relative efficacy of three error-correction procedures on the oral reading of four LD middle-school students. Results indicated that a drill procedure was more effective and efficient than a word-supply procedure and a phonic-drill rehearsal strategy. Results are presented in terms of their implications for instructional and research practices.

The effect of social facilitation, particularly the impact of perceived evaluation and relative competence of handicapped learners, was tested to determine its efficacy in predicting 26 learning disabled children's oral reading performance. Two conditions reflected the competence variable: low relative competence and similar relative competence. The dependent measure was number of oral reading errors. Results revealed a significant main effect, indicating that children who read with similar-ability peers performed significantly better than when they read with peers of superior ability. Results are discussed in relation to mainstreaming decisions and homogeneous groupings of students for direct academic instruction.

This research project was designed to increase a male adult's oral reading performance. A direct instruction approach was used to teach lacking phonic skills previously determined through a detailed performance analysis. As a result of highly specific phonic lessons, reading performance was increased by three years over a three-month period. A multiple-baseline design was used to compare acquisition and maintenance of each phonic concept.

While several practitioners have noted that learning disabled children often experience difficulties with certain auditory perceptual skills, only limited empirical data can be found to support or refute such an assumption. This study examined the relationship between two auditory perceptual skills — sound blending and auditory closure — and reading performance in learning disabled children. Three measures of reading performance were used: word analysis skills, oral reading, and silent reading performance. With the effects of intelligence and age controlled for, only the relationship between auditory closure and word analysis skills reached educational significance.

An alternating-treatments design was used to investigate the relative effects of two previewing procedures on oral reading: (a) listening previewing, in which the teacher read the assigned passage aloud while the student followed along silently prior to reading the passage aloud; and (b) taped previewing, in which the student listened to prerecorded reading passages while following along silently prior to reading the passage aloud. Subjects were four elementary-aged learning disabled (LD) boys. Compared to a no-previewing approach, systematic previewing procedures were found to be related to higher performance levels. In addition, the listening procedure was differentially related to higher rates of words read correctly. Neither previewing procedure was related to changes in error rates. Implications of results are drawn for research and instruction.

Two procedures for correcting oral reading errors, Word Supply and Word Drill, were examined to determine their effects on measures of word recognition and comprehension. The two corrections were applied to 17 learning disabled, poor readers in a within-subjects design. Results indicated that the Drill correction significantly enhanced word recognition and comprehension of sentences which contained original error words. The findings are discussed in terms of “bottom-up” analyses of the reading process and their implications for instructional practice.
