Journal Title: International Journal of Psycho-Educational Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Reading is a major problem for most students with learning disabilities in the United Arab Emirates. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of repeated reading intervention strategy on improving oral reading fluency and reading comprehension of 47 United Arab Emirates students with learning disabilities. All participants were assigned to a reading strategy condition. Participants completed pretest and posttest on reading skills. Data was analyzed using t-test measures. A statistical significant difference was found in the pretest scores and posttest scores. In other words, the results of this study indicated that repeated reading strategy is an excellent instructional intervention to teach reading to children with learning disabilities.
