The Effects of Alternate Forms of Performance Feedback on Elementary-Aged Students' Oral Reading Fluency
Eckert, Tanya L.; Dunn, Erin K.; Ardoin, Scott P.
Journal of Behavioral Education, v15 n3 p148-161 Sep 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, PFWI resulted in higher levels of oral reading fluency than PFWC. In addition, for a majority of the participants, PFWC resulted in lower levels of oral reading errors than PFWI. These results suggest that providing students with performance feedback on the number or words read correctly may enhance the reading fluency of students experiencing reading difficulties. The implications of these results for intervention selection are discussed.
