Effect of Visual Perceptual Training on Reading Achievement

Abstract

This study was designed to determine the effect of visual perceptual training on perceptual, readiness, and word recognition skills of low readiness first grade children. The experimental group worked on Frostig worksheets. Under equally close attention of the teacher, control pupils listened to stories through a headset. Gains in perception, readiness, and word recognition outcome variables analyzed for experimental and control groups within 16 classrooms and between 4 pretreatment perceptual levels showed no significant differences in favor of the experimental group.
