The purpose of this study was to increase the participant’s ability to read 2nd grade Dolch sight words with fluency and accuracy. A 12-year-old middle school student diagnosed with a specific learning disability was our participant. Also, he had been able to read past a 1st grade reading level. Direct Instruction (DI) flashcards were implemented using the 2nd grade Dolch sight word list. A multiple baseline design across five sets of Dolch words was employed. The overall outcomes of this study showed our participant increased his performance when DI flashcards were in effect. However, then copy and copy was added along with an oral reading component, our participant’s performance further improved and became stable. The benefits and issues of employing DI flashcards with cover and compare and passage reading was discussed. Suggests for future research were provided.
