Item Pre-Teaching High Frequency Sight Words and the Effects on Students’ Reading Accuracy(2020-11) Diakite, Holly; Rhoades, Thomas; Masters of EducationPrimary teachers across the United States of America spend a portion of their instruction time teaching their students high frequency sight words. In order for students to become successful readers, they must first have a vocabulary of words that are recognized automatically by sight. Students who do not have a “sight word” vocabulary will spend valuable reading time sounding out words when their primary focus needs to be on comprehension of the text. However, there are a multitude of games, activities, lessons, and strategies in which to teach high frequency words. This paper will explore some of the ways to teach high frequency words as well as which ways are the most efficient.Item Study of the Efficacy of Leveled Literacy Intervention on Meeting Reading Achievement Goals for Targeted Title One Students in Grades 1 and 2(2017-05-11) Waldera, Jennifer L.; Brown, Gaye; Education; Masters of EducationThe purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of Fountas and Pinnell’s Leveled Literacy Intervention with Targeted Title One students in grades 1 and 2 is effective in increasing students’ reading levels. The study used a quasi-experimental design. The population was chosen using convenience sampling and the instrument utilized for both assessments was the Fountas and Pinnell benchmark assessment system. The results of the study showed that there was not a significant difference in achievement of increased reading levels between Targeted Title One students who participated in the intervention and students who were reading below grade level but who did not participate in Leveled Literacy Intervention. Significant threats to validity are discussed as well as implications for future research.
