- 34. Studies have been conducted on strategies for teaching low-level readers and improving their reading and literacy skills (Smith, 2009; Miller, 2007) 34 Component #1 - Introduction ▹ Gives background on the research topic
- 35. However, these studies conclude that additional reading time is the best way to increase a student’s reading level. In additional studies focusing on the middle school reading and Language Arts classroom (Harim, 2000; Lossen, 2001), teachers note that encouraging reluctant readers to read more-both in the classroom and outside of the classroom-is a common challenge faced by educators. 35 Component #2 - Research significance ▹ Answers the question: “why conduct the research?”
- 36. Therefore, to ascertain strategies for encouraging reluctant readers to read more, thereby increasing their reading levels, we surveyed 200 low-level readers in an urban public-school district to determine what strategies would provide impetus for them to read more and for longer periods 36 Component #3 - Methodology ▹ How was the research conducted?
- 37. The results of the survey concluded that finding material that connects with the readers’ lives is the best strategy teachers can have for encouraging reluctant readers in the classroom 37 Component #4 - Results ▹ What did the research find?
- 38. We then provide strategies for middle school teachers in finding reading material that has a greater connection with, and impact on, students’ daily lives. 38 Component #5 - Conclusion ▹ What is the research contributing?
