Abstract

Our participant was a 10-year-old male with a learning disability in reading. He was currently receiving special education instruction in the resource room at his elementary school for reading, math and writing. The purpose of this study was to determine if repeated reading and with SAFMED flashcards would improve reading fluency. The dependent variable was the number of words per minute read by the participant. The independent variables were repeated readings and error correction drills with SAFMED flashcards. Results showed that repeated readings and the error correction drill with SAFMED flashcards increased the number of words per minute read by tour participant.
