Book Description
A basic correlational research design was used in this quantitative study to correlate the reading and writing test scores of 47 fifth grade students at a rural public school in southwest Georgia. The instruments used in the study were the 2008 Georgia Grade 5 CRCT Reading and the 2008 Georgie Grade 5 CRCT Writing Assessment. The purpose of this study was to examine the 2008 Georgia Grade 4 CRCT Reading and the 2008 Georgia Grade 5 Writing Assessment to determine whether there is a correlation between fifth grade students’ reading and writing test scores. The research concluded that there is a significant correlation between the Grade 5 CRCT Reading test scores and the Grade 5 CRCT Writing Assessment test scores. This study cannot be generalized to another educational setting. Future research should be conducted to include a larger sample size, various grade levels, and different geographic areas.
