The purpose of this study was to explore a user-friendly method to increase the reading fluency of five elementary school children with low vision.
Subjects were five elementary school children with low vision at the school for the blind located in Busan city. They were children from low second grade to sixth grade using print The tool that was used for this study was the screening version of Koenig\'s Print Media Assessment Process(PMAP). Reading materials were selected from high-interesting, easy-reading stories. The Changing-criterion design was used to determine the effectiveness of repeated readings for increasing reading rates and decreasing error rates. criterion levels were increased in a stepwise manner across successive subphases of the intervention phase until the desired level of functioning was obtained.
The results of this study were as follows:
First, The method of repeated readings was effective in increasing reading rates of five elementary school children with low vision.
Second, The method of repeated readings was effective in decreasing error rates of five children with low vision.
