Abstract

The current study implemented an alternating-treatments design with Standard Celeration Charting. The applied experiment occurred via telecommunication and assessed the effectiveness of repeated reading (RR) on reading fluency for two adults with specific learning disabilities using high-level and low-level reading passages. Participants reread each passage until they met a predetermined fluency criterion. We measured participants reading fluency using correct words per 1 min (CWPM) and assessed for retention at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month. Both participants reached their fluency aims and maintained their progress postintervention.

• RR can improve reading fluency for children and adults with reading deficits.

• RR practice sessions require minutes to implement, which offers great flexibility for scheduling.

• Telecommunication represents an effective modality for implementing RR procedures for adults with reading disabilities.

• Participants in the study retained their fluency gains post-intervention, supporting that time spent on RR may represent a good investment for clinicians.

重复阅读对特殊学习障碍成人阅读流畅性的影响

本研究采用标准迭代图表法进行交替治疗设计。应用实验通过远程通信进行，使用高水平和低水平阅读段落评估重复阅读（RR）对两名有特殊学习障碍的成年人阅读流利性的影响。参与者重读每个段落，直到达到预先设定的流利程度标准。我们使用每 1 分钟正确单词数（CWPM）来衡量参与者的阅读流畅度，并在 1 周、2 周和 1 个月时对其保留率进行评估。RR 可以提高有阅读障碍的儿童和成人的阅读流利度。RR 练习课程的实施只需几分钟，这为时间安排提供了极大的灵活性。RR 是为有阅读障碍的成人实施 RR 程序的有效方式。

期刊介绍： Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
