The Effects of Reading Racetracks on Sight Words Across Four Elementary Students with Differing Disabilities

摘要

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a reading racetrack procedure to increase peed and accuracyof sight word identification. Four elementary aged students with differing disabilities served as participants. Acombination multiple baseline and reversal design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the reading racetrack procedure.Words correct, errors and words attempted were measured. This study further demonstrated that reading racetracksare an effective method to increase sight words. Some generalization to novel words was found with only one of the twostudents. Suggestions for future research are discussed.
