Abstract Details

2010, Master of Education, University of Toledo, Curriculum and Instruction.
This qualitative study was designed to assess the learning that occurred when a teacher-designed independent reading program, Triple E Reading or “Everyone engaged and excelling,” was implemented in a rural, Midwestern public school classroom. Eighteen regular education fifth grade students participated in the program for four months. The data collection consisted primarily of authentic student writing and written field notes. An inductive and deductive content analysis of student writing found that the students’ writing exhibited not only comprehension strategy usage, but also richness of thought. Students were regularly engaging in and writing about their comprehension strategy usage such as, re-telling, making predictions, questioning, visualizing, forming personal and literary associations, discussing story structures, and self-monitoring strategies. The results of this study reaffirmed the importance and effectiveness of engaging students in written response; moreover, when utilizing Triple E Reading, the study revealed that students have the potential to be successful, independent learners motivated to engage in future reading.
