Biemiller, Andrew; Siegel, Linda S.
Learning Disability Quarterly, v20 n2 p83-92 Spr 1997
This study compared the "Bridge" experimental reading program and whole language instruction with 106 economically disadvantaged first graders at risk for reading difficulties. The "Bridge" program uses icons or picture symbols to facilitate print word identification. The "Bridge" group performed significantly better on the Wide Range Achievement Test Reading test at the end of grades 1 and 2. (Author/DB)
