The Effectiveness of a Group Reading Instruction Program with Poor Readers in Multiple Grades.
Rashotte, Carol A.; MacPhee, Kay; Torgesen, Joseph K.
Learning Disability Quarterly, v24 n2 p119-34 Spr 2001
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a phonologically based reading program delivered to first- through sixth-grade impaired readers (N=115) in small groups. Post-tests after program completion found the program resulted in significantly better phonological awareness, decoding, reading accuracy, comprehension, and spelling. Improved skills were evident regardless of original level of deficiency and were not limited to specific grades. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
