Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of reading racetracks with three 8 year-old students with learning disabilities. All. three children were performing well below grade level in reading. A single subject reversal design was used to evaluate the effects of employing reading racetracks. Corrects responses and errors were recorded using high frequency "No Excuse" word lists used in the school district. All three students showed an increase in sight words learned when the reading racetracks were used. This was replicated each time the reading racetrack procedure was implemented. The applicability of using reading racetracks in the classroom is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
