Orlando school improves ESE scores with Corrective Reading

SRA/McGraw-Hill,

Abstract:

This study examined the effect of Corrective Reading (CR) on the reading achievement of 12 third grade students with physical and/or mental disabilities. Prior to instruction with CR, all students were one to two years below grade level in reading. The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills’ (DIBELS) oral reading fluency test was administered in the fall, winter, and spring to measure students’ progress. Results from the DIBELS’ oral reading fluency test indicates that after five months of instruction, the majority of students were reading at grade level or somewhat below grade level and still in need of further intervention.
