A reading acceleration program known to improve reading fluency in Hebrew-speaking adults was tested for its effect on children. Eighty-nine Hebrew- and English-speaking children with reading difficulties were divided into a waiting list group and two training groups (Hebrew and English) and underwent 4 weeks of reading acceleration training. Results of pre- and post-testing of reading abilities point to a significant main effect of the test, demonstrating improvements in silent contextual reading speed, reading comprehension, and speed of processing in both Hebrew and English training groups as compared to their performance before the intervention. This study indicates that the Reading Acceleration Program might be an effective program for improving reading abilities in children, independent of language.
一项已知能提高说希伯来语成年人阅读流畅性的阅读加速计划，针对其对儿童的效果进行了测试。89名有阅读困难的说希伯来语和英语的儿童被分为候补名单组和两个训练组（希伯来语组和英语组），并接受了为期4周的阅读加速训练。阅读能力的测试前和测试后结果表明测试有显著的主效应，与干预前的表现相比，希伯来语和英语训练组在默读情境阅读速度、阅读理解和处理速度方面均有提高。这项研究表明，阅读加速计划可能是一个提高儿童阅读能力的有效计划，与语言无关。
