Sight Word Instruction for Students with Autism: An Evaluation of the Evidence Base

Abstract: This paper reviews the evidence on sight word instruction as a method of teaching students with autism and significant cognitive and verbal limitations to read printed words. Nine single-subject studies were rated using Reichow et al.'s (J Autism Dev Disord 38:1311-1319, 2008) evaluative method for identifying evidence-based practice, and studies with at least adequate methodology were analyzed to identify common intervention features. Results yielded evidence in support of a massed trials approach featuring s… Show more

“…Como resultado desta pesquisa, quatro artigos foram encontrados na base ERIC (CHIANG; LING, 2007;WHALON et al, 2009;SPECTOR, 2011;EL ZEIN et al, 2014). Estes estudos revelaram que muitas das práticas interventivas propostas pelo Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa em Leitura (NRP, 2000) são efetivas para populações com autismo, desde que associadas a outras estratégias.…”

“…Esse estilo de processamento da linguagem é oposto ao modo de leitura de pessoas diagnosticadas com dislexia, que tipicamente priorizam a leitura logográfica. Nessa perspectiva, estimular a leitura logográfica, através do método global, é uma das alternativas apontadas na literatura para minimizar os problemas de leitura de crianças com autismo (MCDONNELL;COPELAND, 2011;SPECTOR, 2011). Nesse modelo, que se opõe à intervenção fônica (focada no desenvolvimento da consciência fonológica), menor ênfase é dada à relação grafema-fonema.…”

“…Word identification occurs by (a) identifying a word by sight, (b) predicting what the word might be, (c) using similar sound elements to read new words (i.e., analogy), and (d) decoding the parts of a word (Caldwell, 2010). Several sight word strategies have been identified within the literature as evidence-based (e.g., Ledford, Gast, Luscre, & Ayres, 2008;McGee, Krantz, & McClannahan, 1986); however, one limitation is that students were unable to read words that had not been explicitly taught (Spector, 2011). Predicting words based on initial letters, accompanying pictures, or background knowledge becomes more difficult as upper grade level texts increase in complexity and generally include fewer pictures (Colin, Magnan, Ecalle, & Leybaert, 2007), and because students with ASD may have limited background knowledge/ interest on the topic being read (Travers et al, 2011).…”
