Brief Experimental Analysis in Selecting Reading Interventions to Improve Reading Fluency

Abstract

The goal of this study was to increase the oral reading fluency, correct words (read) per minute (CWPM) of 2nd grad students who were referred to an after school reading program. Three second grad students from two elementary schools participated in the study. Assessment involved a Brief Experimental Analysis (BEA) phase containing baseline trials and trials in five different reading interventions. Reading clinic supervisors selected the interventions for each participant that had the highest number of CWPM during the BEA.
