Evaluating the Effects of Repeated Reading and Continuous Reading Using a Standardized Dosage of Words Read
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hammerschmidt-Snidarich, Stephanie M.; Maki, Kathrin E.; Adams, Sarah R. – Psychology in the Schools, 2019
Repeated reading (RR) is a common fluency intervention, but recent studies comparing RR to continuous reading (CR; i.e., wide reading) found no significant differences in effects. This prompts the question of whether the mechanism that improves skills is repeatedly reading portions of connected text, or simply reading connected text. The current…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

van Gorp, Karly; Segers, Eliane; Verhoeven, Ludo – Annals of Dyslexia, 2017
The direct, retention, and transfer effects of repeated word and pseudoword reading were studied in a pretest, training, posttest, retention design. First graders (48 good readers, 47 poor readers) read 25 CVC words and 25 CVC pseudowords in ten repeated word reading sessions, preceded and followed by a transfer task with a different set of items.…

Reading Together: A Successful Reading Fluency Intervention
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Young, Chase; Mohr, Kathleen A. J.; Rasinski, Timothy – Literacy Research and Instruction, 2015
The article describes a reading fluency intervention called Reading Together that combines the method of repeated readings (Samuels, 1979) and the Neurological Impress Method (Heckelman, 1969). Sixteen volunteers from various backgrounds were recruited and trained to deliver the Reading Together intervention to struggling readers in third through…

Does Training in Syllable Recognition Improve Reading Speed? A Computer-Based Trial with Poor Readers from Second and Third Grade
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Heikkilä, Riikka; Aro, Mikko; Närhi, Vesa; Westerholm, Jari; Ahonen, Timo – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2013
Repeated reading of infrequent syllables has been shown to increase reading speed at the word level in a transparent orthography. This study confirms these results with a computer-based training method and extends them by comparing the training effects of short syllables and long frequent and infrequent syllables, controlling for rapid automatized…

Orthographic Context and the Acquisition of Orthographic Knowledge in Normal and Dyslexic Readers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
de Jong, Peter F.; Messbauer, Vera C. S. – Dyslexia, 2011
We tested the hypothesis that the acquisition of orthographic knowledge of novel words that are presented in an indistinct context, that is a context with many orthographically similar words, would be more difficult for dyslexic than for normal readers. Participants were 19 Dutch dyslexic children (mean age 10;9 years), 20 age-matched and 20…

The Effect of Repeated Reading with Pairs of Students in a Large-Group Setting on Fluency and Comprehension for Students at Risk for Reading Failure
Direct linkDirect link
Frame, John N. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Problem: Some students are failing to develop acceptable reading skills; however, instructional time allocated to reading fluency can increase reading comprehension. The purpose of this study was to compare students who received repeated reading with pairs of students in a large-group setting with those who did not in terms of reading fluency,…
