Abstract

This action research project was conducted with nine students currently served by the special education program at a rural high school in south Alabama. The Word Identification Strategy, DISSECT, was introduced to sixth grade struggling readers who were experiencing failure in their general education science class. The results of the project demonstrated that with a relatively short time, disabled readers could be taught a simple way to unlock multi-syllable words without the public assistance of a teacher. The word recognition gains made by the students were considered to be substantial. The gains in self-esteem were even more dramatic.
