Taylor, Jennifer2021-05-142021-05-142021-05http://hdl.handle.net/11603/21541The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not daily book talks and weekly book tastings would increase student interest in reading for a group of 23 second grade students. Student interest was measured using the Elementary Reading Attitude Survey. The study was a one-group repeated measure design. Participants were selected based on convenience sampling. Implementing daily book talks and weekly book tastings resulted in increased interest in reading and more books read, on average. The upward trend across time was statistically significant for the interest surveys but not statistically significant for the number of books read.27 pagesenThis work may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
