Correction Behavior: Implications for Reading Instruction.

Abstract

Karen D'Angelo Much research in reading has fo cused on miscues made during oral reading as one indication of reader's attempt to comprehend print. Interest in learning more about comprehension process has caused some of this research to focus specifi cally on miscues that are corrected during oral reading. According to Goodman (1969, p. 19), correction behavior may be the most significant factor in analyzing any miscue. The reader who makes a miscue in oral reading and corrects without being prompted exhibits an important reading behavior. What can corrections tell us?
