q2 · i? · causal · r1

Pre/post comparison for the oral communication comparison group (n = 17), which received no explicit reading fluency treatment; the paired test showed a significant rate decrease from the highest initial group rate of 101.53 swpm.

"However, the final rate was 85.47 swpm, showing a statistically significant decrease in reading rate from pre- to posttest measures, t(16) = 3.05, p = .008, [4.89, 27.23], d = 0.74."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Reading Fluency — outcome: instruction changes it
