Word Recognition Development With Reading Practice
This presentation outlines the impact of regular reading comprehension practice over 30 weeks on the high frequency word recognition development of a girl who is being raised in Japan. The results of this study showed her ability to read aloud high frequency words in the reading comprehension texts and high frequency word lists not only increased, but also her ability to read aloud increasingly complex and longer high frequency words improved over the 30 weeks.
