This pilot study examines word reading improvements in students with difficulties, suggesting better outcomes with integrated interventions.

To evaluate effective elements in interventions for improving word reading skills in students with significant reading difficulties.
Random assignment of students to two 10-week intervention conditions: Dual Treatment and Integrated.
Dual Treatment focused on regular spelling-sound correspondence and whole-word instruction.
Integrated condition used interleaved instruction with variability in spelling-sound correspondence and larger letter units.
The Integrated condition showed significant improvements in word reading efficiency and silent word identification fluency.
Effect sizes favored the Integrated condition, particularly in standardized tests with varying word targets and contexts.
The Dual Treatment condition did not yield statistically significant advantages in measures other than spelling.

Clemens et al. (2026) studied this question.
