Research suggests that re-reading the same text and repeated exposure to unknown words in the same context maximizes the likelihood that previously unknown words will be learned. Repeated reading is recommended as one of the most effective instruction method for improving reading concerns with non-fluent readers. As to whether repetition is necessary for improving reading fluency remains a critical question. This study compared repeated reading to a non-repetitive reading strategy with second grade non-fluent readers. Effects of the two reading methods were compared in terms of oral reading fluency gains and word mastery. This study found that there were no significant differences in reading fluency and word mastery between repeated reading and the non-repetitive method on generalization measures. Both interventions were found to be effective methods of instruction. Implications for practice and future research have been discussed.
