The Effects of Repeated Reading on Reading Fluency for Students With Reading Disabilities
We checked this card's citation and the finding we state against the source's own page or record in October 2026.
What it found
Repeated reading improved reading fluency (correct words per minute) for students with reading disabilities, especially in elementary grades. Combining repeated reading with a listening preview, where the student first hears the passage read fluently, was the most effective approach.
