Abstract | This article describes a group of second and third graders who began the school year 83% below reading proficiency. On surveys given at the beginning of the year, parents/guardians stated reading was the biggest concern for their child, and students stated they enjoyed hands-on activities, especially during science. To increase comprehension and fluency, a combination of reading and engagement was the key. To capture the same passion and excitement students showed while engaging in science investigations and experiments in the classroom, the Reading Adventures program was created. Each take-home bag contains a nonfiction book along with a simple scientific investigation and math problem related to the book's topic (see NSTA Connection for an overview of the activities). The goal for the program was to increase student reading scores by including families in the learning process. After all, research on the best practices in education "suggests that parental involvement, not income or social status, is the most accurate predictor of scholastic achievement." Response to this program was overwhelming. (ERIC). |
