Reread-Adapt and Answer-Comprehend Intervention with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Readers: Effect on Fluency and Reading Achievement
Schirmer, Barbara R.; Schaffer, Laura; Therrien, William J.; Schirmer, Todd N.
American Annals of the Deaf, v156 n5 p469-475 2011
The researchers investigated the effect of the Reread-Adapt and Answer-Comprehend intervention (Therrien, Gormley, & Kubina, 2006) on the reading fluency and achievement of d/Deaf and hard of hearing elementary-level students. Children in the third, fifth, and sixth grades at a state school for d/Deaf and hard of hearing students received a fluency intervention that was supplemental to their regular reading instruction. Significant improvement was found on a generalized measure of reading fluency after intervention. Though the researchers found no significant improvement in performance on a generalized measure of comprehension after intervention, the students demonstrated consistently good comprehension on both literal and inferential questions during the intervention sessions. The findings support the importance of incorporating a comprehension monitoring strategy in fluency instruction.
