Learning Style Adaptations and the Effect on Sight Word Recognition Achievement of Students with Learning Disabilities
Year: 1996
Type: article
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to investigate the sight word recognition of two students with learning disabilities from a private school in Virginia, after adaptations to their learning styles had been made. The experimental design used to assess the effects of learning style adaptations on sight word recognition was a multiple probe across word groups. A combination of the Dolch and Fry Sight Word Lists determined the unmastered sight words for both subjects. The Dunn and Dunn Learning Style Inventory was used to identify the subjects' preferred learning style. The results of the study indicated that when adaptations were made for individual learning styles (i.e., auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic) sight word recognition increased for both subjects
