Roberts, Will; Norwich, Brahm – Educational Psychology in Practice, 2010
This article describes an investigation into the outcomes of a school-based initiative to improve the word reading skills of a group of secondary school students (n = 77). The project involved the delivery of an enhanced precision teaching (PT) programme across two cohorts of students by teaching assistants (TAs) in each school who themselves…

Spooner, Fred; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
A nonaversive technique was used to teach a severely handicapped woman to decrease her refusals. The technique employed precision teaching via precise daily measurement strategies, environmental analysis, and a focus on building appropriate behavior. (JDD)

West, Richard P.; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
Precision teaching is introduced as a method of helping students develop fluency or automaticity in the performance of academic skills. Precision teaching involves being aware of the relationship between teaching and learning, measuring student performance regularly and frequently, and analyzing the measurements to develop instructional and…

Binder, Carl; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
Precision teaching techniques can be used to chart students' attention span or endurance. Individual differences in attention span can then be better understood and dealt with effectively. The effects of performance duration on performance level, on error rates, and on learning rates are discussed. Implications for classroom practice are noted.…

Koorland, Mark A.; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
Selecting student performance aims (proficiency levels stated in terms of rate of correct and incorrect responding) is an integral feature of the precision teaching and learning process. Descriptive and developmental research on appropriate aims is summarized, and methods for determining appropriate aims for students are described. (JDD)

Howell, Kenneth W.; Lorson-Howell, Kathy A. – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
The use of rate data in precision teaching, to improve fluency of student response, is discussed. Noted are its advantages, the demands it places on teachers and students, the impact on measurement procedures, and guidelines for determining when to shift from acquisition to fluency instruction. (JDD)

Lindsley, Ogden R. – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
The founding policies of precision teaching are discussed: monitor frequency daily, use self-recording, use standard charts to display major changes, and accept that the child knows best how he or she learns. Contributions of teachers that have furthered the development of precision teaching are documented. (JDD)

Mounsteven, Joyce – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
A speed reading technique is described for use with reluctant readers. The technique uses timed probes with practically any reading material, to heighten student motivation in addition to increasing fluency. Methods for self-recording progress data and strategies for building fluency are described. (JDD)

Liberty, Kathleen A.; Paeth, Mary Anne – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
Techniques are presented to teach students with severe and multiple handicaps to record their performance data using adapted mechanical or electronic counting devices such as calculators. Described are the purposes of self-recording, materials needed, training guidelines, and evaluation procedures. (JDD)

Byrnes, Michael E.; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
A project combined precision teaching techniques and a flashcard approach known as SAFMEDS, with 4 students with learning disabilities or behavior disorders, age 14-18. Project results determined that the techniques provided students with necessary skills to pass the school district's minimum competency test in the area of local, state, and…

Peterson, Susan K.; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
Two interventions, both using repeated readings combined with a simple error correction technique and precision teaching, were used with two at-risk elementary students to improve their oral reading skills. Both interventions (language experience approach stories and passages from a basal reading program) worked equally well. (JDD)

Scott, Jack; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
The paper describes procedures for reducing reading errors and building oral reading fluency by having students read along with audiotapes of passages recorded at rates somewhat faster than the learner's current performance level. Steps involved in this challenging reading method include assessment, daily timings, error correction, and rate…

Williams, Gregory J.; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
The Precise Identification and Remediation for Learning project identifies kindergarten pupils at risk for serious learning problems. The project involves identifying target skills, developing assessment materials, conducting initial assessments, identifying children with performance deficits, providing small-group remedial instruction,…

Solity, Jonathan – Educational Psychology: An International Journal of Experimental Educational Psychology, 1991
Examines the background to behavioral applications to children's learning. Provides a brief description of three approaches: task analysis, direct instruction, and precision teaching. Looks at assumptions of these approaches, their similarities, and their interrelationship during continuous assessment. Discusses the role of a behavioral approach…

Mesler, Judith Lee – 1987
Learning-disabled students in an after-school program were provided with remedial instruction using precision teaching. The instructional program sought to increase performance of five students (grades 4-8) in specific academic skills by 50%. Skills included, among others, spelling, capitalization and punctuation, reading, and multiplication. The…
