Xin, Yan Ping; Tzur, Ron; Hord, Casey; Liu, Jia; Park, Joo Young; Si, Luo – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2017
The Common Core Mathematics Standards have raised expectations for schools and students in the United States. These standards demand much deeper content knowledge from teachers of mathematics and their students. Given the increasingly diverse student population in today's classrooms and shortage of qualified special education teachers,…

Using Experimental Analysis to Determine Interventions for Reading Fluency and Recalls of Students with Learning Disabilities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Welsch, Richard G. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2007
This study assessed the efficacy of experimental analysis for determining a best intervention program for improving oral reading fluency for students with learning disabilities. Following a two-session baseline condition, four treatments to increase reading fluency (repeated reading, listening passage preview, repeated reading with easier…

Comparisons of Beginning Literacy Programs: Alternative Paths to the Same Learning Outcome.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Traweek, Dean; Berninger, Virginia – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1997
This study compared two beginning reading programs, Integrated Reading-Writing (IR-W) and DISTAR in comparable urban schools with students "at risk" for literacy problems. Although the two programs resulted in comparable gains in word recognition and overall reading achievement by the end of first grade, children in IR-W tended to…

The Effects of Two Repeated Reading Interventions on Generalization of Fluency.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weinstein, Gloria; Cooke, Nancy L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1992
A study involving four male beginning readers with learning disabilities compared the effects on gains in fluency of two types of mastery criteria. One required students to reread a passage until they demonstrated 3 successive improvements; the other required rereading until 90 correct words per minute were reached. Both were successful;…
