Reading Interventions for Four Students with Learning Disabilities
Selfridge, Kaleena A.; Kostewicz, Douglas E.
Journal of Precision Teaching and Celeration, v27 p19-24 2011
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 needs often struggle with all aspects of reading, from developing phonemic awareness to comprehension. Practitioners and researchers have demonstrated that using precision teaching techniques will facilitate the improvement of reading behaviors. In this article, the author discusses reading interventions for four students with learning disabilities.
