Abstract
The purpose of this action research project was to study the effects of repeated reading on improving oral reading fluency of 9th and 10th grade students on an IEP. The researcher specifically examined the use of 6 Minute Solutions curriculum. The researcher is a high school special education teacher in her 7th year of teaching, where her own students were the participants in the repeated reading intervention. The six-week intervention was performed in their Learning Strategies or Reading Strategies class where the researcher collected their fluency data daily using the 6 Minute Solutions passages and materials. The findings revealed the repeated reading intervention was effective in improving student’s rate of words read correct per minute. The research was conducted to determine future instruction at the Tier 2 and Tier 3 level for struggling readers and IEP students on reading fluency goals. The data analysis will be used to make decisions regarding best specially designed instruction practices for the participants.
