The measurement tool was the Scholastic Reading Inventory Assessment. This study involved taking the assessment three times throughout the year to look at the progress of each student. Scores from the two years tested, showed little difference in utilizing Junior Great Books or not utilizing the program. Research in this area should continue because reading is so important in our society and for student growth.32 pagesen-USThis work may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
