This study examined the effects of a reading racetrack game on acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of sight words for four kindergarten students who are deaf. The game consisted of placing sight words around a racetrack board and prompting the participant to read the words. A multiple probe design across word sets demonstrated a functional relation between the intervention and the participants' acquisition of vocabulary to 100% mastery on at least three consecutive sessions for each participant. Three out of four participants maintained most of the sight words acquired for 2-4 weeks after intervention and generalized reading the words to another presentation format.
