Lovett, Maureen W.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n4 p769-80 Dec 1990
To determine whether disabled readers can benefit from letter-sound instruction if attention to individual regular words is increased, 38 male and 16 female disabled readers aged 7 to 13 years participated in whole word, letter-sound, or control training programs. Implications of improvement by both experimental groups are discussed. (SLD)
