dc.description.abstractThis study is a target action research study. The participants of this study are three bilingual students in a first-grade classroom. A gap in the words per minute count was observed in these students compared to that of their peers. Reading fluency tests were conducted as pre-assessments each Monday and the correct word read per minute (WPM) was recorded. Instructional intervention such as parental involvement and use of visuals to teach vocabulary were implemented. The effects of the intervention were evaluated across participant's each week for four weeks. Each Friday, reading tests were conducted as post-assessments and progress was determined based on the increase in correct words per minute count (CWPM) and students' ease in initiating responses for three comprehension questions. This study found that the interventions played a significant role in enhancing reading fluency demonstrated by an increase in CWPM each week for all four weeks in all three students.
