Results indicate that after 7-11 weeks of intervention, the participants had increased their ORF and comprehension of novel and practiced CR passages. The intervention was also effective for increasing ORF and comprehension scores for novel AIMSweb passages, but to a lesser extent than observed for CR passages. These finding extend the research supporting the usage of Repeated readings for first grade ELL students using computer-assisted instruction to supplement reading instruction. Limitations, directions for future research, and implications for practice are also offered.

The intervention was also effective for increasing the oral reading fluency and comprehension on all 4 of the participants on novel AIMSweb passages. These findings add to the research base supporting the use of repeated readings for first-grade students via computer-assisted instruction to supplement instruction. Further, the findings suggest that skill acquisition and generalization might be promoted by the use of culturally relevant materials. Limitations, directions for future research, and implications for practice are offered.

Results indicate that after 7-13 weeks the packaged intervention was effective on increasing the oral reading fluency and comprehension of practiced culturally relevant passages for all participants. The intervention was also effective on increasing the oral reading fluency and comprehension on six of the participants on novel AIMSweb passages. These findings extend the research base supporting the use of repeated readings for second-grade students via computer-assisted instruction to supplement instruction. Further, the findings suggest that skill acquisition and generalization might be promoted by the use of culturally relevant materials.

Previous reading studies have emphasized the importance of providing systematic, explicit, reading instruction for emergent readers. This study sought to determine the effectiveness of Reading RACES (RR), a computer program designed to deliver the repeated reading intervention utilizing culturally relevant passages. Specifically, this study examined the effects of RR on the oral reading fluency (ORF) and comprehension gains for first-grade learners in an urban setting and whether these gains would generalize to novel, generic passages. Five first-grade African American students at risk for reading failure were selected to participate in this study. Results indicated a functional relation between the use of RR and student gains in ORF and comprehension. All students who participated in this study demonstrated moderate to substantial gains on their ORF and comprehension on CR passages. Additionally, the data show that the reading generalized to novel passages and maintained even one month following intervention.

Abstract: This study examined the effectiveness of a computer-assisted reading program, Read Naturally (RN), on the oral reading fluency (ORF), comprehension, and generalization of second graders who were at risk for reading failure. Six students received the intervention (RN) three to four times a week for approximately 7 to 12 weeks. All six students were trained to use the RN program, and were able to advance through the sequence of instructional activities with little to no assistance. The instructional sequence included: key words, cold timing, read along, practice reading, a comprehension quiz, pass timing, and word retell.

An important reading skill that is often overlooked by educators is reading fluency. There is a paucity of studies that have investigated computer programs that address this and other critical reading skills. Reading AssistantTM is a form of computer assisted instruction that uses speech recognition technology and research supported strategies to target reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of Reading AssistantTM on the oral reading fluency and comprehension skills of second through third grade students considered at risk for reading failure. A total of eight participants were involved in this study across a 6- to 8-week intervention period. In order to evaluate the impact of Reading AssistantTM, a multiple baseline across participants design was used. Multiple sources of data were collected to determine the overall effectiveness of the Reading AssistantTM computer program. Data for reading fluency was collected using AIMSweb reading curriculum based measurement (CBM) probes while data for reading comprehension was collected using AIMSweb maze CBM probes. The effect of the Reading AssistantTM computer program was also evaluated by determining the rate of improvement (ROI) as well as by calculating the percentage of non-overlapping data points (PND). The results of this study suggest that Reading AssistantTM may have been somewhat effective for improving the oral reading fluency and reading comprehension skills, but only for some of the participants. The effect size data do not provide a convincing demonstration that Reading AssistantTM had a substantial impact on the majority of struggling readers involved in this study. Further research is needed to establish the effectiveness of Reading AssistantTM as an intervention for reading fluency.

Reading fluency has been identified as a key component of proficient reading. Research has consistently demonstrated significant and substantial correlations between reading fluency and overall reading achievement. Despite the great potential for fluency to have a significant outcome on students’ reading achievement, it continues to be not well understood by teachers, school administrators and policy makers. The chapters in this volume examine reading fluency from a variety of perspectives. The initial chapter sketches the history of fluency as a literacy instruction component. Following chapters examine recent studies and approaches to reading fluency, followed by chapters that explore actual fluency instruction models and the impact of fluency instruction. Assessment of reading fluency is critical for monitoring progress and identifying students in need of intervention. Two articles on assessment, one focused on word recognition and the other on prosody, expand our understanding of fluency measurement. Finally, a study from Turkey explores the relationship of various reading competencies, including fluency, in an integrated model of reading. Our hope for this volume is that it may spark a renewed interest in research into reading fluency and fluency instruction and move toward making fluency instruction an even more integral part of all literacy instruction.
