The purpose of this study is to establish the evidence-based practice of reading interventions via
meta-analysis. To begin with, researches are divided into four reading areas - word study, vocabulary,
fluency, and reading comprehension in accordance with Kim(2009)'s category. And then this study
investigated articles, which are published in Korean journals, on reading intervention for students
with LD or reading difficulty from 2000 to June, 2009. A total of 45 intervention studies, which
were related to word study, fluency, vocabulary, reading comprehension conducted during 10 years
(2000 to 2009), were selected according to the criteria set in this study. For meta-analysis, 39
articles were selected, and results were measured by using MIX (Meta-analysis with Interactive
eXplanations) program. The result of the Q model-fit statistical test of heterogeneity was 108.48 (z
= 7.33, p < .05), r=0.40,and it turned out to be significant.
This study intended to provide the basis for suggesting RIT intervention model based on the
results of meta analysis on reading intervention studies. Therefore, we analyzed and compared the
RTI model suggested by the research institutions and suggested Korean RTI intervention model
based on the results of this study.
