A Comparative Study of the effect of Teacher Stimulation on the Amount of Reading Done by a Fifth Grade Class

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The purpose of this study was (1) to determine if a classroom teacher could effect an increase in interest in independent reading shown by an intermediate level class through an intensified program of stimulation as measured against the reading interests evidenced by a comparable class not receiving the extra stimulation, and (2) to determine to what extent if any this stimulation of reading interests affected reading ability as measured by a standardized reading achievement test.
