Abstract
This study examines the effects of repeated reading and assisted nonrepetitive strategies such as echo reading, cloze reading, and unison reading on reading rate, error rate, and comprehension. There are many repeated-reading studies with results demonstrating unproved fluency; however, the current study investigated the transfer effects of the previously mentioned procedures on both comprehension and fluency with sixth-grade Chapter I students. Results indicated equivalent benefits for repetitive and nonrepetitive methods, with significant comprehension improvement in a 7-week period.Keywords
