The purpose of this research is to introduce the concept of how fourth grade students with documented learning disabilities can gain greater reading fluency through repetitive reading while comparing and contrasting three theories: Eri's stages of reading development, Chall's stages of reading development and Piaget's stages of child development with emphasis on concrete operations.
