| Description |
Building motivation is an essential characteristic of teaching reading. Children who are motivated to read more will engage in reading more frequently, and children who read more frequently will naturally practice the essential mechanical attributes of reading and will thereby become more capable and competent readers. This project attempts to integrate what is known about developing capable and motivated readers into an existing core reading program to create a more motivating experience for learners. The newly developed curriculum was evaluated by six on-site evaluators who are familiar with both the school's program and the students' demographics. The curriculum was then delivered to 16 students for 5 weeks. The curriculum seemed to have a positive impact on high and low-achieving students, but had a negligible impact on average achieving students. |
