Abstract
This paper presents the effects of a phonetic program with the use of contingency management on reading achievement of high school students. The program was designed to increase phonic sound rate and oral reading rate during reinforcement periods. Results suggest that the systematic application of phonics with contingency management did result in measurable gains in reading achievement.
