Description

Recreational activities benefit on early readers to stay engaged and motivated throughout literacy intervention sessions. The purpose of our research is to provide pre/post assessment and recreational data that analyzes the outcome recreation has on therapy. Participants involved both display weakness in literacy and exhibit high energy and distractibility during sessions. Pre/post assessments were completed for both participants performed across the areas of reading, writing, and spelling. Intervention techniques focused on areas of literacy that the participants showed significant weakness (such as letter recognition, recognition of patterned words, and spelling).
