Book Description
This dissertation includes three studies extending research on a computer-based sight word reading intervention across special needs students. In Study I, a multiple-baseline across behaviors design was used to evaluate automatic sight-word reading in a fourth-grade student with intellectual disabilities. Immediately after the intervention was applied to each of three lists of sight words, the student made rapid gains in her ability to read those words within 2 s. In Study II, an adapted alternating treatment design was used to evaluate the effects of two computer-based flashcard interventions among four elementary students with disabilities. The two interventions were similar; with either 1-s response intervals (i.e., students had 1 s to read the word before they heard it) or 5-s response intervals applied. Instructional time was held constant (3 min per session) across both the 1-s and 5-s procedures; consequently, students completed six learning trials during each 1-Christopher H. Skinners session but only two during each 5-s session. Results showed similar gains in sight-word mastery rates across both the 1-s and 5-s response interval interventions. In Study III, a multi-phase adapted alternating treatment design was used to evaluate the effects of two computer-based flashcard reading interventions among three elementary students with disabilities. Each intervention provided students with either 1-s or 5-s response intervals. Instructional trials were held constant (three trials per word, per session) across both the 1-s and 5-s procedures and results were analyzed using both crude (i.e., sessions) and precise (i.e., seconds) measures of instructional time. Across all three students, analysis of learning per session showed no differences across the 1-s and 5-s words which suggest that learning trials were equally effective. However, when instructional time was measured more precisely all three students showed higher learning rates under the 1-s intervention. These studies extend the research on a computer-based sight-word reading intervention system and provide an extensive framework on how researchers should evaluate interventions in light of learning rates. Discussion focuses on the contextual validity (e.g., sustainability, efficiency) of this computer-based intervention. Additionally, implications related to measuring learning rates, evaluating learning trial quality, re-learning, and assessing maintenance are discussed.

Interventions for Reading Problems
Author: Edward J. Daly
Publisher: Guilford Publications
ISBN: 1462520960
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
This user-friendly guide has been thoroughly revised to reflect significant changes in the way schools deliver reading instruction and intervention, especially for students at risk for reading failure. Step-by-step strategies target key areas of literacy development: phonological awareness, fluency, and comprehension. Particular emphasis is placed on scientifically based practices that do not require major curricular change and can be applied with students of varying ages and ability levels. In a convenient large-size format for ease of photocopying, the book includes 17 reproducible assessment and instructional tools. Purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. New to This Edition: *Chapter on multi-tiered intervention delivery, plus additional discussion in other relevant chapters. *Chapter on interventions for English learners (ELs). *Chapter on vocabulary instruction, intervention, and assessment. *Additional graphing and data-analysis tools. *Coverage of new resources available through federal supports. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
