The impact of using guided reading to teach low-literate adults

Abstract

Massengill discusses a guided reading instructional framework applied to four adult participants, including Joelle, Peter, Troy, and Malia. She stresses that the instructional framework improved the learners' word-recognition behaviors and strategies, which resulted in an increase in overall reading levels. The participants' respective profiles, the single-participant design scores, and the pre- and post-test results, are also provided.
