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.

This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: "The purpose of this study was to investigate whether literature circles increased student use of reading strategies as compared to teacher-led instruction. Students in the experimental group participated in literature circles, as students in the control group received teacher-led instruction for a nine-week period. Experimental and control samples completed a pre and post survey indicating the frequency in which they used five strategies utilized by proficient readers. A two sample, one tail t test for independent samples was used on all five reading strategies for data analysis of the post surveys. Analysis of the data indicated no significant effects of literature circles on reading strategy use as compared to teacher-led instruction. Therefore, the researcher did not reject the null hypotheses for each reading strategy.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: This study examined the ways in which reading works of fiction affects the formation of student's opinions and attitudes by using literature circles discussions and journal writing. It uses Louise Rosenblatt's (1938) Reader Response Theory supported by Lev Vygotsky's (1962) writings about the social dynamics of language development. Methodologically I followed the example of literature circles set forth by Janice Almasi and Linda Gambrell (1994, 1995). Participants were fifth grade students in a rural South Georgia elementary school who participated during the 2010-2011 school year. The students participated in small peer-led discussion groups. The students chose the books they would read and held weekly literature circles to discuss those books. Before reading began, the students' knowledge and opinions of certain key words, "Nazi", "German" and "Jew" were assessed. After completion of the first novel their thoughts on those same texts were assessed again. Then the groups switched books and the process was repeated until all participants had read all books. In the second phase of the study, the students were given free reign to choose books on any subject and the process was repeated. Each time the children met, their conversations were recorded. Those comments showed a consistent shift in attitude from their initial reactions. The students' attitudes which began as largely neutral toward all three key terms had shifted toward the negative for the terms "Nazi" and "German", and toward the positive for the term "Jew" by the end of the study. Other findings showed that, while the students may have been hesitant to accept the characterization of people groups based on the information in the novels, they blindly accepted other information presented within.
