Book excerpt: Independent, silent reading has traditionally been an activity done in elementary schools and, to some degree, middle schools. However, in an age of high-stakes testing, the effectiveness of allowing high school students time in class to independently read literature of their choice continues to be debated. High school teachers have to weigh any benefits of students independently reading choice literature with the time that it takes from other instruction. This qualitative case study examined if allowing students to read literature of their choice independently in an ELA classroom for a set amount of time per week has an effect on reading achievement. Participants in this study included a high school ELA teacher and a high school library media specialist. Both participants completed an online, researcher-designed survey that included 21 Likert scale questions and five open-ended questions, and both participated in a follow-up interview. Data were also gathered from on-site observations at the selected school and additional in-person discussions with both participants. Results from this study reveal different beliefs in the use of choice, independent reading in the secondary ELA classroom. The data suggest that choice, independent reading may not be effective in all classrooms. Additional research is needed to investigate in what classroom situations and settings choice, independent reading would result in improved reading achievement among students.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a reading curriculum on high school students' achievement, confidence in reading and teachers' perceptions. A paired samples t test was used to compare students' pretest and posttest scores on the reading curriculum. Two independent samples t tests were run to compare the control and treatment groups to determine achievement. Results suggested there was a significant difference between the two groups. ANCOVA was run to compare the same two groups on percent, but using a special education covariate. Results suggested there was not a significant difference with scores. Descriptive statistics and frequencies were used to analyze implications positive effects on students' confidence and teachers' perception.
Book Synopsis The Perception of Teachers and Students Using the Reading Apprenticeship Framework by : Crystal L. Dowdell

This book was released on 2009 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impetus of this study was to explore the perceptions of teachers and students from a suburban school district in southeastern Pennsylvania and the effect of Reading Apprenticeship Framework (RAF) on instructional practices in high school. The study was limited to the perceptions of high school teachers providing reading instruction in the curriculum areas of English, Social Studies, World Language, and Health and Physical Education; specifically, the negative and positive impact of using the RAF. The study involved examining teachers' delivery of content as they used RAF strategies in the classroom. Finally, this study considered the perceptions of students in grades 11 and 12 participating in Reading Apprenticeship Framework classrooms, specifically, the students' personal perceptions of reading within the content areas in high school. The results of the study indicated that both teachers and students believed that RAF is a framework that supports student reading achievement and teacher instructional practices within high courses. The incorporation of RAF increased teacher understanding of student learning and finally, student motivation was also increased.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written specifically for teachers, this book offers a wealth of research-based principles for motivating students to learn. Its focus on motivational principles rather than motivation theorists or theories leads naturally into discussion of specific classroom strategies. Throughout the book these principles and strategies are tied to the realities of contemporary schools and classrooms. The author employs an eclectic approach to motivation that shows how to effectively integrate the use of extrinsic and intrinsic strategies. Guidelines are provided for adapting motivational principles to group and individual differences and for doing "repair work" with students who have become discouraged or disaffected learners.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Evidence-based Practices on Students' Reading Achievement by : Mele Suipi Fakatava Latu
Download or read book The Impact of Evidence-based Practices on Students' Reading Achievement written by Mele Suipi Fakatava Latu and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the extent to which the assessment of students' achievement data within a professional learning circle, as foundational to evidence-based practice, raises the reading achievement outcomes of a Year 9 cohort who were at high risk of literacy failure. The ability to read concerns the preparation of students being life long learners and to some extent, the need to experience success not only in reading, but also in general. This comes with an understanding that when students enter their secondary or high schooling experience, they are equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to engage in curriculum specific subjects and become critical thinkers and learners. However, what is understood and experienced by many students and teachers is that this is simply not the case. Reading affects all aspects of life and is critical for all students entering secondary or high school, hence the reason for such a study. The research draws on a mixed methodology approach that was a combination of quantitative and qualitative procedures and was considered as being suitable for this inquiry of reading. The insights of both approaches were required to get a good understanding of reading as a complex issue. A quasi-experiment was deemed appropriate, as there was a need to make comparisons between two groups: Target Group and Control Groups. Multiple assessment tools were used, e-asTTle and STAR for gathering data purposes. The Teacher inquiry and knowledge-building cycle from Best Evidence Synthesis: Iteration on Teacher Professional Learning and Development, was as an approach that guided the pedagogy of teaching reading. Underpinning this approach were the premises of knowing what the learners need to learn in order to read better and what the teachers need to learn in order to teach the students more effectively. The inquiry did not only promote valued student outcomes, but served as a tool to guide teachers in their pursuits for the much-needed professional learning and development to enhance their teaching capacity and capability for poor reading students. The results of the Target Group performance as well as the two Controls Groups support the claim that the use of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) contributes to the increase in the reading achievement of the students, especially when incorporating the use of reading assessment data within the approach. The findings suggest that for students, the need to clarify expectations and to make reference to text that was relevant and of interest to them was key to significant increases in their reading levels. For teachers, the findings suggest that when they had used student reading assessment data to make decisions concerning the necessary changes to their teaching strategies and reading programmes, they had experience success with their students. In part, this was the case as the researcher was able to guide teachers with interpreting the data and providing the necessary support for the design and implementation of programmes. This lead to transformation in teachers thinking about what they could do with students and justification of their actions and decisions. Teachers' perceptions of this method proved to be a motivating experience and encouraged critical self-reflection and professional dialogue. It is hoped that discussions from this study will generate further dialogue in this area in order for change to occur for students and teachers.
Book Synopsis The Achievement Gap in Reading by : Rosalind Horowitz
Download or read book The Achievement Gap in Reading written by Rosalind Horowitz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume prominent scholars, experts in their respective fields and highly skilled in the research they conduct, address educational and reading research from varied perspectives and address what it will take to close the achievement gap—with specific attention to reading. The achievement gap is redefined as a level at which all groups can compete economically in our society and have the literacy tools and habits needed for a good life. Bringing valuable theoretical frameworks and in-depth analytical approaches to interpretation of data, the contributors examine factors that contribute to student achievement inside the school but which are also heavily influenced by out-of-school factors—such as poverty and economics, ethnicity and culture, family and community stratifications, and approaches to measurement of achievement. These out-of-school factors present possibilities for new policies and practice. The overarching theme is that achievement gaps in reading are complex and that multiple perspectives are necessary to address the problem. The breadth and depth of perspectives and content in this volume and its conceptualization of the achievement gap are a significant contribution to the field.

Book Synopsis The Effectiveness of Independent Reading and Self-Selected Texts on Adolescent Reading Comprehension: A Quantitative Study by : Sarah Horne
Download or read book The Effectiveness of Independent Reading and Self-Selected Texts on Adolescent Reading Comprehension: A Quantitative Study written by Sarah Horne and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striving adolescent readers often find themselves with little or no support once they enter high school. The success of independent reading programs that target students' reading levels and accommodate student interest at the elementary level is well-documented. As students progress throughout their school years, such freedom is traditionally replaced with a strict adherence to lists of canonical classics of literature, most of which are well above a struggling reader's independent reading level. This study explored the value of such an independent reading program that addresses both student interest as well as student reading ability at the secondary level and sought to determine its influence upon adolescent reading achievement. This study compared/contrasted the effectiveness of incorporating an independent reading program into the 8th grade English curriculum to that of a more traditional English curriculum. The study took place at three public schools within Central Virginia and a causal/comparison design was used.
