Book Is There a Correlation Between the Use of Accelerated Reader in the Classroom and Student Achievement in Reading Comprehension

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 The Effects of Accelerated Reader on Students Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Reading

Download or read book The Effects of Accelerated Reader on Students Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Reading written by Valerie Jean Via Sanchez and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of creating lifelong readers has been always been a value to all teachers because it is critical factor that contributes to a student’s academic success. Accelerated Reader has been implemented among schools across the nation to engage students into reading and used as a tool to measure student learning in reading achievement. Research on Accelerated Reader reveals that the reading program has contradictory findings of having a positive and negative effect on students. A qualitative research design was used to investigate whether and how Accelerated Reader effects students’ perceptions as reader and attitudes towards reading. A total of 25 second graders provided qualitative data with responses to a survey and interview. Classroom observations were also made over the six-week period of the study. Analyses of student behaviors, responses, and comments led to identification of important themes related to the students’ experiences with Accelerated Reader. The results showed that Accelerated Reader did affect students both positively and negatively.

Book A Causal Comparative Study on the Effects of Accelerated Reader

Download or read book A Causal Comparative Study on the Effects of Accelerated Reader written by Terry Furr Griffin and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Accelerated Reader (AR), when it is used as a supplemental reading program in grades 3 through 8. A causal comparative design was utilized. Four research questions were investigated: (1) Do students who use AR experience more than 1year of growth in reading achievement? (2) Do students who participate in AR at different grade levels experience a difference in reading achievement growth? (3) Do students who participate in AR at different achievement levels experience different growth in reading achievement? (4) Does the level of program implementation effect reading achievement growth? The instrumentation for the study included both the North Carolina End-of-Grade Reading Test and an 18-item survey. Independent t-tests were calculated to evaluate Research Questions I and 2. In order to examine reading achievement growth between grade levels and achievement levels, the standardized growth estimate (SGE) was calculated for Research Questions 3 and 4. The results indicated that students in lower grade levels, at lower achievement levels, will receive the most benefit from AR. Furthermore, the level of program implementation is only a factor at grade 3, indicating that actual reading practice may be the critical element instead of specific programmatic guidelines. Recommendations for further research include studies designed to more effectively determine causation.

Book Accelerated Reader and Its Effects on Fifth Grade Students Reading Comprehension

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.
