Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to find if there is a significant difference in the end of the year Communication Arts scores of students who participate in Silent Sustained Reading compared to students who did not participate in Silent Sustained Reading. Demands of No Child Left Behind, increases a mandated curriculum, and the National Reading Panel's statement that silent reading is ineffective has created controversy. This pilot study investigates the impact of independent reading on the reading achievement of a small group of students with special needs. They all received services in Communication Arts and their independent reading levels were below average (lower elementary grade level). The question investigated in this research study was: Does participating in independent reading increase student's reading achievement?"--portion of abstract

This book was released on 2004 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world ofhigh stakes testing and the ''No Child Left behind Act," instructional teaching time is at a premiwn. Having time for Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) in the middle school classroom is considered by many educators and administrators as a waste of instructional time. However, several educators are aware of the positive outcomes of SSR and feel that it is an important part ofliteracy curriculwn. SSR is an uninterrupted period of time during the day for students to read quietly. Six seventh grade students participated in a six week SSR research study. The data collected was through formal and informal assessments. What became clear is the benefit ofSSR for reading comprehension levels and the student's motivation to read all subjects. . It was most valuable for students to choose their own reading materials, have a comfortable setting, and not be held accountable for what they had read. While standards and testing are important in schools, it is equally as important for educators not to loose sight of practices that will inevitably help them to achieve those standards.

Book excerpt: Abstract: This study compared the effects of sustained silent readings and repeated readings on oral reading fluency and comprehension of at-risk students from a 2nd grade class in an urban school with low performance on WJ-III subtests and DIBELS fall benchmark assessments. A multiple baseline across subjects experimental design was used. Intervention was conducted over a 4-16 week period consisting of Repeated Reading. Variables measured were reading fluency: number of correct words read per minute and reading comprehension: number of comprehension items answered correctly. During baseline condition (sustained silent reading) students read grade level passages independently and silently for 10 minutes. They were tested in fluency and comprehension during one minute timings. During the interventions condition (paired repeated reading) students worked in pairs, taking turns reading the passage orally for 10 minutes. They were also tested in fluency and comprehension during one minute timings. The dependent variables in this study were number of words read per minute and the number of comprehension questions answered correctly. Results indicate that students' oral reading fluency and comprehension skills stayed consistent with sustained silent readings, but improved with repeated readings.

Book excerpt: Beginning to Read reconciles the debate that has divided theorists for decades over what is the "right" way to help children learn to read. Beginning to Read reconciles the debate that has divided theorists for decades over the "right" way to help children learn to read. Drawing on a rich array of research on the nature and development of reading proficiency, Adams shows educators that they need not remain trapped in the phonics versus teaching-for-meaning dilemma. She proposes that phonics can work together with the whole language approach to teaching reading and provides an integrated treatment of the knowledge and process involved in skillful reading, the issues surrounding their acquisition, and the implications for reading instruction.
