Abstract
This study investigated the effects of two discrete teaching strategies for developing proficiency in oral reading. The use of teacher praise contingent upon pupil correct responses was compared with teacher modeling of words erred. The results clearly indicate that, for two learning/behavior disordered youngsters approaching a proficiency level in oral reading, manipulation of reinforcement schedules was demonstrated to be the more effective approach.Keywords
