Bouton, Bobette; McConnell, John R.; Barquero, Laura A.; Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Compton, Donald L. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2018
This quasi-experimental study explored a response-to-intervention (RTI) design in which TiersĀ 2 and 3 were inverted for the most at-risk first grade students in reading intervention in seven classrooms (n = 24) across two culturally diverse schools. These students were matched using propensity scores and compared to a second group of first grade…

Our study was a pilot comparison of two…

Traditional drill and practice (TD) and incremental rehearsal (IR) are two flashcard drill instructional methods previously noted to improve word recognition. The current study sought to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of these two methods, as assessed by next day retention assessments, under 2 conditions (i.e., opportunities to respond…
