Ulbrich and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehension is a vital requirement for every student as he or she progresses through school, and a student's motivation to read can directly affect comprehension skills. Many strategies are used to increase reading comprehension across grade levels. At a suburban middle school in the Midwest, 67 students in three sixth-grade reading classes participated in a study to determine if the use of literature circles would increase reading comprehension as well as student motivation to read. Students were taught how to operate and participate in literature circle discussions with various readings. They were then divided into groups, and each group was given a different novel to read and discuss within literature circles. Comprehension was assessed by studying student journal response entries while motivation was assessed by comparing survey results. Using the aforementioned assessments, a slight gain in comprehension was recorded, but results varied for the use of literature circles affecting motivation to read. Keywords: comprehension, reading, motivation, middle school.
Book Synopsis The Effects of Literature Circles on the Reading Achievement of College Reading Students by : Davonna M. Thomas

This book was released on 2013 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of literature circles on the reading achievement of college reading students using a mixed method approach. A literature circle is defined in this study as students who form a group, read a novel, and meet on a regular basis to discuss what they have read. The researcher-developed intervention included three activities: collaborative oral re-tell, short written response to a prompt, and open discussion. The study employed an experimental design in order to examine the effectiveness of the intervention (literature circles); in addition, the sociocultural context of the college reading classes (and students) is described in detail. Grounded theory was employed to analyze reading attitude, reading motivation, response to participation in a literature circle, and textual engagement. Thirty-eight college students in required reading courses participated in the five-week study. Students were randomly assigned to either the treatment (participation in literature circle) or control (independent reading) condition. Students were able to choose from four pre-selected high-interest young adult novels. At the conclusion of the series of literature circle meetings (or upon completion of reading the novel independently, for control group participants), comprehension was measured using three measures: an oral re-tell of the novel, a twenty question researcher-developed open-ended book-specific assessment, and a twenty question assessment on a two-part high school level passage from the Qualitative Reading Inventory (Leslie & Caldwell, 2011). Textual engagement was measured by coding and counting responses to a semi-structured interview. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed a significant main effect for group assignment, meaning that—when all four measures were combined into a linear function—the students assigned to literature circles outperformed the control group students. Given the significance of the overall test, the univariate main effects were examined. Significant univariate main effects were obtained for the researcher developed test and textual engagement. Qualitative analysis revealed that literature circles improve reading comprehension, depth of textual engagement, and provides an opportunity for discourse, collaboration, and social interaction for its participants. These findings suggest that literature circles lead to both improved comprehension and deeper textual engagement for college reading students. Keywords: literature circles/book club/literature discussion, reading comprehension, textual engagement, reader response, post-secondary/college/university, developmental studies, mixed method; experimental design; grounded theory.

Book Synopsis The Effect of Skill-focused Minilessons on Students' Independent Use of Reading Skills During Literature Circles by : Gail Kennedy
Download or read book The Effect of Skill-focused Minilessons on Students' Independent Use of Reading Skills During Literature Circles written by Gail Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased accountability in contemporary public elementary schools requires that teachers provide evidence they are using research-based strategies that reinforce skills assessed on standardized tests. There is a need to provide empirical evidence that literature circles can reinforce skills assessed on these tests. A literature circle is a research-based strategy that is common in language arts classrooms. This study investigates the connection between these skills and student discussion that takes place during literature circles. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of skill-focused minilessons on students' independent use of reading skills. The study investigated whether application of skill-focused minilessons prior to literature circles would have an effect on students' independent use of reading skills within student discussions during literature circles. Sixteen students participated in the study. The study also investigated the impact that minilessons prior to literature circles had on students' scores on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) in reading. Students were randomly assigned to the researcher's fifth grade class in the 2008/2009 school year. All students read the same material and received the same treatment. During the course of the study, students first took the FCAT diagnostic in reading and then engaged in five literature circle meetings, each preceded by a minilesson. Students then engaged in five literature circles with a different book and without skill-focused minilessons, followed by the administration of the reading FCAT. The data, which included content analyses of transcriptions of students' discussion and the collection of FCAT scores, yielded several findings. The two skills most commonly used by students in independent literature circles were analyzing character and discussing plot. The two least commonly used skills were describing conflict and using context clues. Each skill was identified within student discussion. The way in which students transferred the use of these skills to literature circles not preceded by skillfocused minilessons varied. Multiple modes of transfer were identified for each skill. A dependent t-test for the FCAT scores did not indicate a statistically significant increase in the use of the five skills identified for this study when minilessons preceded literature circles.

Participants were assessed using two different reading assessments before and after the study. In addition, English Language Development levels were assessed in listening, speaking, and reading. Participants were placed into literature groups reflecting instructional reading levels and English Language Development levels. Reader response journals and researcher observations offered additional information about the thinking process of the participants. A participant questionnaire highlighted the perceptions of the participants as readers as well as offered ideas for improving literature circle groupings. Keywords: English Language Learner, literature circles, reader response journal, instructional reading level, English language development level.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify a relationship between literature circle participation and reading motivation, engagement, and achievement for struggling middle school readers. The research was conducted in a public urban elementary (K -8) school. Participants were students from one teacher's English Language Arts class. The treatment group included 10 students from 6th grade, 9 students from 7th grade, and 7 students from 8th grade, and the control group included 14 students from 6th grade, 16 students from 7th grade, and 21 students from 8th grade. Data was collected over 18 weeks. Independent-samples t tests were used to compare differences between the experimental and control groups, and paired -samples t tests were used to compare students' pre- and postintervention scores. Reading motivation and engagement was measured using a survey including four categories (Value for Reading, Enjoyment of Reading, Motivation for Reading, and Engagement in Social Reading), and reading achievement was determined from Reading MAP scores. The results indicate that there was not a significant difference between the growth in motivation or engagement experienced by the treatment group and the control group. However, at a 94% confidence interval, results revealed significantly higher achievement gains for the treatment group than the control group. Further research is needed to validate these findings and to continue exploring the impact of literature circles on engagement and motivation in reading. Keywords: literature circles, middle school reading, struggling readers, engagement, motivation, achievement, urban education, English Language Arts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: "The purpose of this study was to determine if using books with literature circles as a supplement to the basal eader would affect children's reading comprehension. The researcher conducted this study over a period of six weeks. Comprehension tests were given at the beginning and the end of the study. A two-sample, one-tail t test for independent samples was used to compare gain scores on pretests given to the experimental group and the control group. A second t test was used to compare the post-test results and gain scores of comprehension in the experimental group and the control group. Analysis of the data showed a positive difference in the mean gain scores made in reading comprehension by students using literature circles as a supplement to the basal reader versus students using solely the basal reader. The researcher however did not reject the null hypothesis for this study, as the difference was not significant."
