In this article, multiple-baseline across participants designs were used to evaluate the impact of a precision teaching (PT) program, within a Tier 2 Response to Intervention framework, targeting fluency in foundational reading skills with at risk kindergarten readers. Thirteen multiple-baseline design experiments that included participation from…

The ability to read greatly influences students' academic careers and their entire lives. Furthermore, those who have successfully progressed through the continuum of reading behaviors will potentially experience fewer problems when they must read to learn than students who have not mastered basic reading skills. However, students with special…

This article describes the eight-step precision teaching program and reports on this method's use with four British elementary students with reading difficulties. In comparison to two control groups, children receiving precision teaching made substantially greater gains in reading comprehension and slightly greater gains in reading accuracy. (DB)

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)
