This book was released on 2020 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was developed to determine the interconnectivity between Accelerated Reader and its impact on standardized achievement tests, reading comprehension, motivation to read, and overall reading growth. Historical data from 2017-2018 was taken from fourth-grade students who attended a suburban elementary school in a large public school district. Using a correlational and survey research design, data collected included: end of year Accelerated Reader Student Growth Percentile scores, standardized Reading and Language Arts test scores, growth and performance scores, reading report card grades, and interviews with parents, teachers, and administrators. Limited data revealed that the study was inconclusive. However, the recommendation is that Accelerated Reader should be used as a supplemental source to create student success in reading comprehension and growth.

Download or read book Is There a Correlation Between the Use of Accelerated Reader in the Classroom and Student Achievement in Reading Comprehension? written by Samuel Smith and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student achievement in reading comprehension has been an important topic for the past several years due to the importance of reading in education. School districts in South Carolina have had enormous amounts of pressure put on them to increase student reading comprehension through the implementation of SLOs and the Read to Succeed initiative. The School District of Pickens County has chosen to use the Accelerated Reader program in an attempt to help boost student reading comprehension. The quasi-experimental design was used during the quantitative research process to determine the effect of Accelerated Reader on student reading comprehension and student achievement. The measuring instrument used was student MAP test data from the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 school years. Overall RIT scores of students were compared during the Fall, Winter, and Spring administrations of MAP during both school years. The results of the study showed an increase in overall RIT for both the experimental and control groups, but there was no significant increase in student reading comprehension with students systematically exposed to Accelerated Reader and students that were not.

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.

Book Synopsis No More Reading for Junk by : Barbara A. Marinak
Download or read book No More Reading for Junk written by Barbara A. Marinak and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pizza. Pez dispensers. Nerf balls. When we give students "junk" to reward reading, we are focusing their intention away from the act of reading and from their own independence as readers. Instead, we can create classrooms where reading is seen as its own reward. In this book, esteemed researcher Linda Gambrell provides a research-based context for cultivating children's intrinsic motivation to read and identifies three essential principles, the "ARC" of motivation: access: giving kids a wealth of reading materials and opportunities to discuss texts relevance: offering high interest, moderately challenging and authentic reading experiences choice: allowing students to self-select texts and reading activities What exactly do those principles look like in action? Reading specialist and researcher Barbara Marinak shares the strategies and techniques that make a difference for student readers' motivation, turning disengaged readers into passionate ones. "Pizza and Pez dispensers are short lived," Linda and Barbara write, "but confident and empowered readers are likely to remain motivated for life."

Book Synopsis Developing Reading Comprehension by : Paula J. Clarke
Download or read book Developing Reading Comprehension written by Paula J. Clarke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing Reading Comprehension “In recent years the debate about teaching young children to read has tended to focus upon equipping them with the crucially important knowledge and skills they need to read words accurately in and out of context, that is to say, teaching them how the alphabet works for reading and spelling. While such knowledge and skills are essential, more is required for children to become literate, fluent readers who understand what they read. In short, the goal of reading is comprehension. This book scrupulously examines the obstacles to reading comprehension and exemplifies what can be done to help children overcome them. It is an important and timely contribution to securing high-quality teaching of the range of attributes children need to become fully-fledged readers.” Sir Jim Rose, CBE “The studies by Professors Charles Hulme and Maggie Snowling and their team over two decades based around the Reading Intervention Programme are the most sustained, comprehensive and rigorous research series on reading yet conducted in the UK. Their increasing focus on children who experience the most difficulty in reading is exactly where attention should be directed. This volume summarises the team’s achievements to date, and is most eagerly awaited.” Greg Brooks, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Sheffield, Member of European High Level Group of Experts on Literacy “Developing Reading Comprehension presents a landmark study from the top research team in the UK on how to improve reading comprehension. It’s an exemplary masters-level textbook written with undergraduate-level lucidity and approachability.” Colin Harrison, Emeritus Professor of Literacy Studies in Education, University of Nottingham A significant minority of children aged 7–11, despite being able to read fluently and accurately, have difficulty extracting meaning from text. This detailed guide offers three evidence-based intervention programmes, drawn from the cutting edge of educational psychology, for improving the reading skills of children in this group. It includes a definitive introduction to the characteristics of the ‘poor comprehender profile’, and explains how to monitor and assess students’ experiences and learning outcomes. With invaluable strategies for teachers, psychologists and special educational needs coordinators, the book will help professionals to support learners in their efforts to explore the full richness of language and to read with real understanding.

Book Synopsis Increasing Reading Motivation and Achievement in the Intermediate Classroom Through Independent Reading Time, Interactive Book Talks, and Cooperative Book Activities by : Cinda Heringer Muser
Download or read book Increasing Reading Motivation and Achievement in the Intermediate Classroom Through Independent Reading Time, Interactive Book Talks, and Cooperative Book Activities written by Cinda Heringer Muser and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reading of real books is the ultimate aim of reading instruction and the hinge that opens the door to a lifelong love of reading. However there appears to be little available time for self-selected reading of real books in today's test driven, standard's based curriculum. The time needed to achieve this goal of motivated, independent readers has taken a back seat to reading time filled with instruction on phonics, skills and comprehension strategies. Children have been expected to "read when they finish their work" or "read at home." Educators face a three dimensional dilemma: teaching children how to read, providing time, space, and selection of relevant literature in the classroom, and finally, instilling in children the desire to choose to read such that they become lifelong readers. This study aimed to address the effects of reorganizing the classroom so that children spend more time actually reading than they do learning about reading. The study proposed that teachers can increase student motivation to read by allowing self-selection of appropriately leveled books, providing time within the school day for independent reading, and engaging students in interactive book discussions and book activities with peers. Determining a valid approach to motivating students to do more wide reading may help educators counteract the decline in reading as students enter the intermediate grades and on into adulthood. The teacher researcher established her classroom as the treatment group in order to follow students' reading preferences, volume, interest, and instructional reading level over a 10week period. Students in the fifth grade intervention classroom received 20 minutes of independent reading time, self-selection of reading materials, and an additional time allotment of 10 minutes for literature based social activities and book talks. Data gathered from the intervention classroom included the following: (a) student surveys that addressed preferences, attitudes, and behaviors involving reading; (b) on-going reading logs and Student Record Reports from the Accelerated Reader program that monitored reading volume; (c) Pre and post STAR Reading tests to determine instructional reading level and a reading range ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development); and, (d) researcher observations and notes taken during book talks, as well as book wall contributions made by students in treatment group. Several conclusions were reached at the end of this study. Students in the intervention classroom demonstrated several positive effects of the treatment: 1. Their motivation to read was enhanced through book talks and book wall contributions as meaning and personal connections were made resulting in deeper understanding of the text. 2. Their Instructional Reading Level (IRL) improved as observed in a positive correlation between pre and post scores on the STAR Reading Assessment. 3. Their self efficacy beliefs increased as seen in students choosing books at a higher level, completing more books, and learning to share their personal reflections of the literature. 4. Students demonstrated an increased eagerness to read as a result of experiencing reading as an interactive social activity shared with peers. It can be concluded that a strong relationship exists between providing independent reading time and interactive book activities and the students' desire to read and continue reading.
