Abstract
This was an exploratory study aimed to compare repeated reading to a reading intervention coined sequential reading. Repeated reading involved reading stories with 100% word overlap, and sequential reading involved reading stories with 70-90% word overlap. The two conditions were compared on fluency retention and retention of individual previously unknown words. Ten elementary-aged children with reading difficulties participated in the study as part of a summer reading program. Results suggest that repeated reading yielded significantly higher fluency and individual word retention over sequential reading. Instructional implications are that repeated reading is important for retention over reading an equivalent amount of different stories with high word overlap.
