Transfer from Word Training to Reading in Context: Gains in Reading Fluency and Comprehension.
Levy, Betty Ann; Abello, Brent; Lysynchuk, Linda
Learning Disability Quarterly, v20 n3 p173-88 Sum 1997
Two studies with poor readers in grade 4 (total N=68) examined the relationship between word identification speed and story reading fluency. Benefits were found for single-word practice prior to reading stories containing those words, even for children who were particularly poor namers. Results are related to theoretical links between fluency and comprehension and theories of developmental deficits. (Author/DB)
