Using Repeated Reading.
O'Shea, Lawrence J.; O'Shea, Dorothy J.
Teaching Exceptional Children, v20 n2 p26-29 Win 1988
The article outlines a strategy called repeated reading which aids educable mentally handicapped and learning-disabled students in gaining mastery of reading skills. Repeated reading focuses on reading passages rather than single words and emphasizes reading rate. The article discusses the method's theoretical basis, empirical evidence, contextual practice, and implementation. (JDD)
