Action Research
Project Title: EFFECTIVENESS OF ACCELERATED READER
ON INCREASING READING
PROFICIENCIES
Action Research Summary:
At this point in time I have finished
collecting data on the reading levels increasing throughout the year and
analyzed how much they read in regard to how much their reading level
increased. In EDLD 5397 I wrote the
abstract, background, literature review, research design, data collection and
reference sections of the paper. My main
focus at this time needs to be on analyzing the data and finishing the findings
and conclusions parts of the action research project.
We are going to expand the AR store from being
offered only to sixth graders to all grade levels. The other issue that we have discussed is
having the store offer a lot of items that don’t actually cost us money but
would have a large buy in from the students.
These examples would include dance tickets, Root beer Float parties, and
Magic Show tickets (a show we already have coming).

From the beginning glances I have taken at
the data I can see that the action research project was successful and this
year we are fully implementing the Accelerated Reader program across all grade
levels. The other big change we have
made this year is that district wide we are using web based AR. By switching to web based AR we are expanding
our library of 320,000 books which 2% had quizzes to 80% of our books now having
quizzes. We are hoping that by allowing
a much broader choice in reading material and the school wide store that
student motivation will greatly increase.
