Book Description
The purpose of this capstone is to describe an action research project in which a fourth grade teacher wanted to improve her reading instruction, particularly the reading skill of inference. Reading specialists, such as Harvey and Goudvis (2000), suggest explicit instruction is a successful method for the teaching of reading strategies. The teacher used four activities to explicitly teach the reading skill of inference to determine which may make a difference in students' ability to make inferences. The students involved in this study were fifteen fourth grade students who were reading between a third and fourth grade reading level. Two of the students were English language learners. Performance on daily work showed an increase in students' ability to make inferences while reading. Standardized test scores did not show the same results.

When Kids Can't Read, what Teachers Can Do
Author: G. Kylene Beers
Publisher: Heinemann Educational Books
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
For Kylene Beers, the question of what to do when kids can't read surfaced in 1979 when she met and began teaching a boy named George. When George's parents asked her to explain why he couldn't read and how she could help, Beers, a secondary certified English teacher with no background in reading, realized she had little to offer. That moment sent her on a twenty-three-year search for answers to the question: How do we help middle and high schoolers who can't read? Now, she shares what she has learned and shows teachers how to help struggling readers with comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, word recognition, and motivation. Filled with student transcripts, detailed strategies, reproducible material, and extensive booklists, Beers' guide to teaching reading both instructs and inspires.
