This study examines the relationship between reading comprehension and mathematical word problem-solving. Specifically the study utilizes a single-subject alternating treatments design to compare three different math word problem-solving treatments and their effects on solution accuracy for three third grade students who were exhibiting difficulties in reading and math. The three treatments consisted of a reading fluency and comprehension intervention, a math strategy intervention, and an intervention that integrated both strategies. The current study did not result in conclusive findings regarding the relative effectiveness of the three treatments, but did begin to show some promising trends that suggest the importance of including reading comprehension components to math word-problem lessons and interventions. The current study discusses both the results and limitations of the study, and provides recommendations for further research.
