Abstract

This study examined the use of a brief experimental analysis (BEA) to efficiently identify effective reading comprehension interventions. BEA offers a swift evaluation of multiple interventions through mini reversals but has previously been mostly applied to reading fluency. The study investigated the impact of the three interventions (i.e., story mapping, reinforcement + corrective feedback, comprehension prompts) on the reading comprehension of an 8th-grade male student performing below grade-level expectations in reading. The results indicated that there were clear differentiated effects across the three interventions, and reinforcement plus feedback resulted in greater changes in skill level. Future research is needed in using BEA to choose an intervention to increase students’ reading comprehension in the classroom.
