Reading Intervention Using Interactive Metronome in Children with Language and Reading Impairment: A Preliminary Investigation
Ritter, Michaela; Colson, Karen A.; Park, Jungjun
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v34 n2 p106-119 Feb 2013
This exploratory study examined the effects of Interactive Metronome (IM) when integrated with a traditional language and reading intervention on reading achievement. Forty-nine school-age children with language and reading impairments were assigned randomly to either an experimental group who received the IM treatment or to a control group who did not. Both groups received language and reading intervention, and the experimental group received an additional four hours of IM treatment during a four-week period. Although both groups made gains in reading rate/fluency and comprehension, the extent of the gains was much larger in the IM group. IM training may be useful for promoting the reading rate/fluency and comprehension of children with language and reading impairments. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
