Oral Retell Interdependency

This paper is a summery about how researchers found a way to improve reading prosody and oral retell fluency. They found that many students haven’t developed reading fluency, but can read properly if they take their time. The main purpose of this study was to determine which of the three inventions was most effective at helping to improve oral retell fluency and prosody.
Four English native speaking students, each of which having difficulties and at risk of reading failure. The students needed to score at or above a skilled range on the reading part of their state achievement test. The passages were all obtained from an open source reading program. The dependent variables used in this research were oral reading prosody and oral retell fluency on practiced passages. A rubric was used to evaluate prosody. It contained four …show more content…
Another one was the repeated reading + listening passage preview in which participants were to listen to a passage properly demonstrated before reading it. The third method used was the repeated reading and phrase drill, which had the examiner point out the participants’ mistakes to them.
The data they received was analyzed in two different ways. First they were graphed and analyzed visually. According to Riley-Tillman and Burns, displaying the data visually is the most effective of presentation for data. This study compared the effectiveness of the instructional methods that would be able to improve oral retell fluency and prosody on practiced passages.
Regarding oral retell fluency, they found RR +LPP seemed to be the most effective. The effectiveness of the outcomes is improved with modeling and repeated practice. Results were quite variable for the outcome of the prosody. They had clear differentiation and it wasn’t consistently apparent in either the final read score or the improvement read score between any of the
