Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to find if there was a significant difference in student reading attitudes based on the type of instructional approach. The traditional reading approach, using the Basal program, and the balanced literacy approach were the two models examined in this study. It is important to consider student reading attitudes in result of instruction, in order to determine the most effective and engaging approach. Research shows that student attitudes about reading are directly related to student achievement. Findings of this study show that one second grade classroom had a significant increase in attitudes about reading using the balanced literacy approach after exposure to traditional approach to reading. After collecting and reviewing the findings of this study, current research and literature, and the statistical data from one second grade classroom, it is found that there is an instructional approach to reading that results in increased student attitude.

Book excerpt: High school students struggle to comprehend complex texts independently due to their unfamiliarity with terms and require remediation when learning new terms (Moore, 1999 Pitcher, Sternberg, Kaplan & Borck, 2007). Special education students often experience difficulties at particularly alarming rates, especially upon high school (Swearling, 2006). Special education students in high school who struggle with acquiring reading skills need a distinct instructional approach to reading such as ReadLive, as traditional reading programs have failed (Fuchs and Fuchs, 2009; Schiller, Sanford, and Blackorby, 2008). Student fluency scores, attitudes toward reading, and teacher perceptions of student engagement all increased in the areas measured in this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise, applied, and very clearly written introduction to qualitative research methods can be used effectively in a semester, or year-long course. This introductory-level text provides the reader with a background for understanding the uses of qualitative research in education (and other professions) examining its theoretical and historical underpinnings, and providing the "how-to's" of doing qualitative research. This new edition places qualitative research within current debates about research methods and alternative ways of knowing. While the authors approach the subject from a sociological perspective, they also take care to reflect the many changes in conceptualization of qualitative research brought by post-structural and feminist thought. New to This Edition: - Rewritten Chapter 5, "Data Analysis, " places more emphasis on the interpretive aspect of research and research writing. - Expanded coverage of action or practitioner research (Chapter 7) highlights a topic that is of immediate use. - Added emphasis on technology and qualitative analysis software in qualitative research helps students to use and incorporate technology efficiently. Links to useful research websites have also been integrated throughout. - Expanded coverage of such topics as formal research designs, work with different cultures, critical race theory, and the debate over quantitative vs. qualitative research. - New end-of-chapter summaries, questions, and field assignments have been added to make this text easy to use with students. - A new Instructor's Manual/Test Bank is available online to adopters by contacting your local representative.

This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph analyses and describes successful educational actions with a specific focus on vulnerable groups (i.e. youth, migrants, cultural groups e.g. Roma, women, and people with disabilities). Concrete data that shows success in school performance in subject matters such as math or language will be provided, as well as children, teachers and families accounts of the impact of this success. Alongside, there is an analysis of the relationship between these children’s educational performance with their inclusion or exclusion from different areas of society (i.e. housing, health, employment, and social and political participation). Many studies have already diagnosed and described the causes of educational and social exclusion of these vulnerable groups. This monograph, however, provides solutions, that is, actions for success identified through the INCLUD-ED project, thus providing both, contrasted data and solid theoretical background and development. Some examples of these actions are interactive groups (or heterogeneous grouping in the classroom with reorganisation of human resources), extension of the learning time, homework clubs, tutored libraries, family and community educative participation, family education, or dialogic literary gatherings. All these actions have been defined as successful educational actions, which mean that they lead to both efficiency and equity. Finally, recommendations for policy and practice are included and discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic teaching of reading occurs at the elementary level, and students are expected to "read to learn" once they enter high school. The majority of the nation's secondary students do not have all the requisite skills to read and learn from high school texts and materials, and even drop-out rates have been attributed to students' inability to keep pace with the literacy skill demanded by the secondary curriculum. No Child Left Behind legislation now mandates secondary school reading initiatives, from high stakes testing to remediation. Despite the national focus on secondary reading, teachers in America's secondary schools are not teaching the skills and strategies necessary for their students to grow as readers and learn from what they read (ACT, 2007; Biancarosa & Snow, 2004). The study quantified Michigan's secondary content area teachers' attitudes toward teaching reading and examined the relationship between those attitudes and predictor variables of content area, level/type of training in teaching reading, degree level, and degree of learner centerdness. Data was collected from 191 male and female respondents vai email link to a survey using the Otto Smith Inventory Scale to measure teacher attitudes toward teaching reading and a portion of the Learner Centered Battery Scale to measure the respondents' learner-centeredness. Teacher respondents had generally positive attitudes toward teaching reading. Math and science respondents had significantly lower attitude scores that English teachers. Post-bachelors' training/education correlated positively with teacher attitudes toward teaching reading. A positive relationship existed between respondents' learner centered beliefs and their attitudes toward teaching content area reading. The data showed a negative relationship between non-learner centered beliefs and the respondents score on the OSI. Both correlations were significant at the .01 level. According to the data, the more learner centered a teacher, the more positive her attitude toward content area reading instruction. Conversely, the stronger a teacher's non-learner centered beliefs, the more negative her attitude toward content area reading instruction. The findings from this study provide important insights for designing inservice or post-bachelors training programs to create learner-centered belief systems and positive attitudes toward teaching content area instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents cutting-edge research findings in areas critical to advancing reading research in the 21st century context, including new literacies, reading motivation, strategy instruction, and reading intervention studies. While students’ reading performance is currently receiving unprecedented attention, there is a lack of research that adopts an international perspective and draws on research expertise from different parts of the world to present a concerted effort, discussing key research models and findings on how to improve reading education. Addressing this gap in the literature, the book also responds to the challenge of promoting higher levels of literacy, and supporting and developing readers who can enjoy and critique texts of every genre.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare student’s attitudes toward reading using the basal reader during whole group instruction and guided reading using leveled texts in small groups. Twenty-three students in a regular education second grade classroom participated in a ten-week study. The results did not support the hypothesis that there would be a positive gain in attitudes of second graders toward reading when leveled texts were added to the basal text for instruction; however, the researcher recognized some important implications. The majority of students surveyed indicated that alternative methods to reading instruction were preferred over the traditional worksheet, drill and practice method of teaching reading.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the National Center for Education Statistics (2004), 37% of America's fourth graders are not reading at grade level. This statistic has remained unchanged for over a decade (NCES, 2004). Findings from multiple studies indicate more research on successfully implementing reading interventions is needed (Begeny & Silber, 2006; Begeny, Krouse, Ross, & Mitchell, 2009). Barnyak and Paquette (2010) suggested that although teachers learn new methods, they return to the strategies they are most comfortable using. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to determine if teacher attitudes and perceptions of direct instruction impacted student achievement in reading. Elementary school teachers from different elementary schools within a school district shared their perceptions of reading instruction in conjunction with their content knowledge. Their satisfaction of direct instruction was analyzed through interviews, observations, and surveys. Results from this study could result in changes in the delivery of this instructional method, professional training provided to teachers, and the allocation of funds. In addition, results may also help educators become aware of how much of an impact their personal feelings influence student performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of metacognitive strategies on students' attitude toward learning, with the strategies and learning experiences being specifically related to learning about reading. The three strategies that were explicitly taught were: previewing the text, questioning, and summarizing. Student surveys were conducted prior to learning a metacognitive strategy, and again after having time to put that strategy in place while reading independently. Data was gathered and coded to search for a correlation between explicitly learning and implementing a metacognitive strategy and improving students' attitude toward learning experiences related to reading. Most attitudes recorded on the surveys remained consistent throughout the study, but one trend emerged. On average, Students reported a positive change on each post survey on the prompt "This strategy made me a better reader". While explicitly teaching metacognitive strategies did increase student awareness of the learning process, this study did not implicate a noticeable impact on their attitude toward learning.

This book was released on 1998-07-22 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most children learn to read fairly well, there remain many young Americans whose futures are imperiled because they do not read well enough to meet the demands of our competitive, technology-driven society. This book explores the problem within the context of social, historical, cultural, and biological factors. Recommendations address the identification of groups of children at risk, effective instruction for the preschool and early grades, effective approaches to dialects and bilingualism, the importance of these findings for the professional development of teachers, and gaps that remain in our understanding of how children learn to read. Implications for parents, teachers, schools, communities, the media, and government at all levels are discussed. The book examines the epidemiology of reading problems and introduces the concepts used by experts in the field. In a clear and readable narrative, word identification, comprehension, and other processes in normal reading development are discussed. Against the background of normal progress, Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children examines factors that put children at risk of poor reading. It explores in detail how literacy can be fostered from birth through kindergarten and the primary grades, including evaluation of philosophies, systems, and materials commonly used to teach reading.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive examination of extensive reading shows how reading large quantities of books and other materials can provide students with essential practice in learning to read and help them develop a positive attitude towards reading, which is sometimes missed in second language classes. The authors first examine the cognitive and affective nature of reading and then offer a wealth of practical advice for implementing extensive reading with second language learners. Suggestions are provided for integrating extensive reading into the curriculum, establishing a library, selecting reading materials, and keeping records for purposes of evaluation. The text also describes a wide variety of classroom activities to supplement individualized silent reading. The information will be useful both for pre-service teachers and for teachers and administrators who want to improve the teaching of reading in their second language programs.
