Implement classroom research to develop effective practices in literacy instruction!

Teaching reading skills effectively can be a complex and challenging process for many educators. Theresa A. Deeney provides a detailed primer that illustrates how to create and implement classroom research projects focused on assessing and strengthening literacy instruction.
 
Improving Literacy With Classroom Research presents a comprehensive overview of the classroom research cycle, which involves noticing a problem, initiating an inquiry, planning for and implementing change, analyzing and reflecting on the results, and developing an action plan. The author includes:
 
  • Guidelines, charts, tables, and information to help educators initiate their own projects
  • Recommendations for collecting and analyzing data
  • Research about five core areas of reading instruction—phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension
  • Examples of authentic teacher research projects focused on literacy skills and instructional practices
 
This guide shows how to use teacher inquiry and reflection to bring about significant improvements in literacy instruction.
