- Abstract
-
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of combining a modified
for of reading racetracks with Direct Instruction (DI) Flashcards to teacher colors and shapes.
These procedures were implemented to teach an ESL kindergarten male with disabilities to
orally label basic shapes and colors. The participant was enrolled in a self-contained special
education classroom. The combined procedures were evaluated in a multiple baseline design
across colors and shapes. During baseline, the participant was unable to label any of the colors
or shapes. When DI flashcards and a modified racetrack procedures were employed, the child
was able to name every color and shape. The results suggested using the techniques of Direct
Instruction and racetrack procedures were very applicable to teach our participant to be able to
name basic colors and shapes. The applicability of these teaching procedures are discussed and
suggestions for future research made. - Downloads
