This study investigates if a reduction in a third grade student's reading anxiety results in changes to oral reading performance, the of amount reading errors, and in enjoyment for reading. The study uses an A-B-A-B reversal design to measure the effectiveness of a mindful coloring intervention on the student's oral reading. Visual analysis and effect size were used to analyze the data. Additionally, Likert scales were used to measure the student's anxiety about reading over the course of the intervention. A large effect size in relation to the intervention and words correct per minute was found. In addition, a small effect size in relation to the intervention and reported level of reading enjoyment was found. Implications of these findings are discussed.
