Abstract Details

2003, Master of Arts in Education, Defiance College, Education.
Fifteen at-risk seventh grade students enrolled in an urban Midwest school participated in the study. The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of the Read XL program with seventh grade at-risk students would improve their comprehension skills. This program, developed by Scholastic Inc., was designed to help struggling readers increase their reading level and comprehension skills through both direct instruction and practice. The Read XL program was implemented during the first twelve weeks of the school year. There were gains in achievement as measured by a pre and posttest and scores on weekly reading selection assessments.
