Item The Effect of Leveled Reading Homework Programs on Reading Comprehension of Second Grade FARMS Students(2018-05) Bolton, Kimberly; Masters of EducationThe purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of assigning leveled books and reading responses as homework on the reading comprehension of low socioeconomic second grade students. The measurement tool was the Fountas & Pinell Benchmark Assessment. This study involved use of a pre-test/post-test design to measure the data collected from the benchmark assessments. Reading levels increased overall among students who participated in the homework program. However; comprehension scores did not reach a level of significance with students who participated. Research in this area should continue as there is a current need for improving literacy with students who are living in poverty and reading comprehension is the overall goal of literacy instruction.
