Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Educational Studies.
Current literature has suggested that HeadSprout Early Reading is an effective reading curriculum for typical developing students and students identified with reading risk. However, the effectiveness of HeadSprout Early Reading has been examined on only four participants with low-incidence disabilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of HeadSprout Early Reading as a supplementary reading curriculum on reading skills of students with autism spectrum disorders. The researcher used a single-subject multiple probe design across three kindergartens identified with autism spectrum disorder. Participants’ acquisition of letter-sound correspondence and nonsense word fluency was measured through verbal response to presented letter/patterns of letters flash cards and The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills Nonsense Word Fluency. Visual analysis and descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the effectiveness of HeadSprout Early reading. Results indicated that HeadSprout Early Reading can improve letter-sound correspondence for individuals with autism.
