| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different phonics curricula on the reading fluency of first grade students. The participants of this study were enrolled in first grade at Joppa View Elementary School in Baltimore County for the 2008 – 2009 school year. All of the students received the Open Court Phonics curriculum while the treatment group received the DIBELS phonics curriculum in addition. The treatment group participated in 20 minute small group instruction for 3 days per week beginning in January and ending in May. While both groups increased their scores on the post-test, the hypothesis was only supported for 3 of the 4 sub-tests. Research in this area should continue to determine the best methods for phonics instruction. | en_US |
