Reading with Precision

This article looks at the area of reading through the lens of Precision Teaching and its Standard Celeration Chart. Precision Teaching grows from the science of human behavior and is distinguished by its use of standard measurement units, procedures and display systems in studying human behavior. Precision Teaching benefits the study and practice of reading instruction by applying concepts of behavior analysis.
