Promoting Generalization of Reading: A Comparison of Two Fluency-Based Interventions for Improving General Education Student's Oral Reading Rate
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ardoin, Scott P.; Eckert, Tanya L.; Cole, Carolyn A. S. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2008
The generalization effects of empirically-supported fluency-based reading interventions have been largely ignored. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of two fluency-based reading interventions, Repeated Readings and Multiple Exemplars, on elementary-aged children's immediate and generalized oral reading fluency rate. Using a…

Riley-Tillman, T. Chris; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Briesch, Amy M.; Eckert, Tanya L. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2008
More than ever, educators require assessment procedures and instrumentation that are technically adequate as well as efficient to guide data-based decision making. Thus, there is a need to understand perceptions of available tools, and the decisions made when using collected data, by the primary users of those data. In this paper, two studies that…

Effects of a Fluency-Building Program on the Reading Performance of Low-Achieving Second and Third Grade Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Martens, Brian K.; Eckert, Tanya L.; Begeny, John C.; Lewandowski, Lawrence J.; DiGennaro, Florence D.; Montarello, Staci A.; Arbolino, Lauren A.; Reed, Derek D.; Fiese, Barbara H. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2007
This study evaluated the effects of a fluency-based reading program with 15 second and third grade students and 15 matched controls. Gains in oral reading fluency on untrained CBM probes were evaluated using a matched-pairs group-comparison design, whereas immediate and two-day retention gains in oral reading fluency on trained passages were…

The Instructional Hierarchy as a Model of Stimulus Control over Student "and" Teacher Behavior: We're Close but Are We Close Enough?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Martens, Brian K.; Eckert, Tanya L. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2007
As a stage-based model of learning, the Instructional Hierarchy offers a useful heuristic for organizing research on effective instructional strategies at different levels of skill proficiency. In this paper, we summarize and highlight the unique contributions of each empirical study presented in the special issue. We describe common…

Comparing Mathematics Interventions: The Effects of Cover-Copy-Compare Alone and Combined with Performance Feedback on Digits Correct and Incorrect
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Codding, Robin S.; Eckert, Tanya L.; Fanning, Erica; Shiyko, Maria; Solomon, Esther – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2007
The purpose of this study was to compare the isolated effects of cover-copy-compare (CCC) with the combined effects of CCC and two types of performance feedback (i.e., digits correct and incorrect per minute) on sixth grade students' mathematics fluency and accuracy. An alternating treatments design was employed to compare treatments across 16…

The Effects of Alternate Forms of Performance Feedback on Elementary-Aged Students' Oral Reading Fluency
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Eckert, Tanya L.; Dunn, Erin K.; Ardoin, Scott P. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2006
Within the context of a brief experimental design, the current study examined the effects of providing two different types of performance feedback, performance feedback on words read correctly (PFWC) and performance feedback on words read incorrectly (PFWI), on the oral reading fluency of six elementary-aged students. For all of the participants,…
