The review's vote-counting synthesis of 14 studies of performance feedback (information on reading rate, correct and incorrect reading, and self-corrections) during oral reading. The review reports "some found positive effects on fluency with feedback on incorrect reading" while others reported negative effects, and concludes the varied findings make clear conclusions challenging.

"Among the fourteen studies investigating performance feedback, some found positive effects on fluency with feedback on incorrect reading (Eckert et al., 2006) while others reported negative effects (Little, 2015)."
