THE EFFECTS OF SPELLING RACETRACKS ON THE SPELLING OF GRADE LEVEL CORE WORDS WITH FOURTH-GRADE STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES**
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of spelling racetracks on the spelling of grade level core words with three fourth-grade students with learning disabilities. Data were collected on the number or words correct during the daily exercise, as well as on the number of words spelled correctly during the end of the week spelling tests. These data were gathered in the elementary school resource classroom. The overall results indicated an increase from baseline scores on the spelling of grade level core words for each of the participants. The procedures were easily implemented and data collection was straightforward and took little teacher time. Recommendations for future research using racetrack-like procedures were made.
