Book Synopsis Accelerated Reader and Its Effects on Fifth-Grade Students' Reading Comprehension by : Jan Nichols
Download or read book Accelerated Reader and Its Effects on Fifth-Grade Students' Reading Comprehension written by Jan Nichols and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools in the United States have been using the Accelerated Reader (AR) program since the mid-1980s. A search of the literature related to the effectiveness of the AR program revealed that many of the studies were conducted more than a decade ago, and a large number of those studies failed to utilize a control group to provide comparative data. Researchers and educators have examined the use of the AR program, whose parent company is Renaissance Learning, for more than 20 years, yet there is still little definitive data on whether the system positively affects student reading comprehension and motivation to read. This causal-comparative design, in the form of an ex post facto study, examined two groups of fifth-grade students to determine if the addition of AR showed statistically significant effects on their reading comprehension. Data were gathered from both an experimental and a control group; the control group utilized the school system's literacy plan for reading instruction, while the experimental group utilized the literacy plan along with mandatory use of AR. Independent t-tests were used to determine if the treatment (AR) had any effect on reading comprehension by group or by gender. The results from the independent t-tests showed no statistically significant effect for reading method by group and no statistically significant effect for gender by group.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was needed to determine if the Accelerated Reader (AR) program made a positive impact in schools, which were attempting to increase student achievement in reading. The purpose of this study was to determine if students who received reading instruction supplemented with the AR Program achieved higher reading scores as measured by the Mississippi Curriculum Test (MCT) than students who were instructed using only traditional basal reader textbooks. 6 school districts were selected to participate in this study. There were 1,111 3rd - 5th grade students in the 6 districts between the years 2004 and 2007. Of those 1,111 students, 248 students met the criteria to be included in this study. Therefore, 248 students' reading scores were analyzed for this study. The findings of the study revealed that AR had a positive impact on students' MCT reading scores. There were no significant differences, however, between the reading scores in the three years 2004, 2005, and 2006 of AR students (male or female) and the reading scores of the Non-AR (NAR) students (male or female). There were no significant differences between the reading scores in the three years 2005, 2006, and 2007 of the AR students and the reading scores of the NAR students (male or female). This study was needed to determine if the AR program was beneficial to schools, which were attempting to increase student achievement in reading. The findings of this study may be used to help administrators and schools evaluate the usefulness and money spent on AR. While no significant differences were shown, the results did show that the AR students' scores were higher than the NAR students on the MCT reading.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Accelerated Reader on Reading Scores in a Rural School District by : Teresa A. Hunter

This book was released on 2013 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this study, the implementation of Accelerated Reader (AR), a computer-assisted supplemental reading program, was investigated as a research-based instructional strategy to assess whether it aided a high-performing, rural school district in meeting adequate yearly progress goals. The theoretical framework was based on Vygotsky's zone of proximal development. The overall research question for this quasi-experimental, longitudinal study was whether AR impacted students' reading change scores on a standardized test over a 2-year period. Reading achievement data of students in 4 elementary schools were gathered for 2 years. Data consisted of scores from the reading portion of the Measures of Academic Progress achievement test. Seventy-four students from 2 schools participated in AR for 2 years, while the control group -- 72 students from 2 other schools -- did not participate in AR. Data were analyzed using multiple regression, controlling for the effects of gender, special education status, gifted and talented education participation, Title I participation, and English language learner status. Findings showed the AR program had a significant direct impact on vocabulary score changes from 2009 to 2010 but a significant inverse impact on overall reading and vocabulary score changes from 2010 to 2011. Because the district under study is relying on AR to improve student outcomes, the project for this study was an evaluation report including an evaluation of the effectiveness of AR. An action plan was also provided to investigate the level of AR program fidelity to identify possible reasons for this study's unexpected results. Positive social change implications include providing research-based data to school administration to inform curriculum and professional development and improve student outcomes and school performance targets."--Preliminary page.

Download or read book A Causal Comparative Study on the Effects of Accelerated Reader written by Terry Furr Griffin and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Accelerated Reader (AR), when it is used as a supplemental reading program in grades 3 through 8. A causal comparative design was utilized. Four research questions were investigated: (1) Do students who use AR experience more than 1year of growth in reading achievement? (2) Do students who participate in AR at different grade levels experience a difference in reading achievement growth? (3) Do students who participate in AR at different achievement levels experience different growth in reading achievement? (4) Does the level of program implementation effect reading achievement growth? The instrumentation for the study included both the North Carolina End-of-Grade Reading Test and an 18-item survey. Independent t-tests were calculated to evaluate Research Questions I and 2. In order to examine reading achievement growth between grade levels and achievement levels, the standardized growth estimate (SGE) was calculated for Research Questions 3 and 4. The results indicated that students in lower grade levels, at lower achievement levels, will receive the most benefit from AR. Furthermore, the level of program implementation is only a factor at grade 3, indicating that actual reading practice may be the critical element instead of specific programmatic guidelines. Recommendations for further research include studies designed to more effectively determine causation.

Book Synopsis The Accelerated Reader Program and Students' Attitude Towards Reading by : Deborah Ann Focarile
Download or read book The Accelerated Reader Program and Students' Attitude Towards Reading written by Deborah Ann Focarile and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the relationship between the use of the Accelerated Reader Program, a computerized reading management program marketed by Advantage Learning Systems, Inc., and student's attitudes towards reading while specifically focusing on the difference in attitudes toward reading between low achieving and high achieving students. In addition, this study describes the relationship between reading achievement and the use of the Accelerated Reader Program. This study is quasi-experimental in nature since it does not use a random sample or random assignment to groups. In order to assess student attitudes toward reading, the Heathington Attitude Scale (intermediate version) was employed. The Heathington Attitude Scale is a Likert scale, or summated rating and gives feedback about school-related reading activities such as free reading and organized reading, reading at the library, reading at home, other recreational reading, and general reading. The Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests was used to assess reading achievement. These test, published by Riverside Publishing Company, are standardized achievement of reading from the end of Kindergarten through Grade 12. Each level test consists of two tests: a vocabulary test and a comprehension test. The reading passages include a balance of different genres of writing. Results of the study suggest that there is no significant relationship between the use of the Accelerated Reader Program and student interest toward reading. Likewise, the study showed that the Accelerated Reader program did not have a significant impact on the reading interest of low achieving students when compared to high achieving students. Similarly, the data indicated that there was not a significant relationship between the use of the Accelerated Reader Program and student reading achievement. Finally, recommendations have been presented for further research of the following:the study should be conducted using a larger sample of participants and a comparison of the increase or decrease in student interest in reading during the school year between the students using the Accelerated Reader Program and those who do not.
