We compared immediate and delayed error correction during sight‐word instruction with 5 students with developmental disabilities. Whole‐word error correction immediately followed each error for words in the immediate condition. In the delayed condition, whole‐word error correction was provided at the end of each session's three practice rounds. Immediate error correction was superior on each of the four dependent variables.
