I have learned that the use of innovative technology does help students with improving their reading comprehension. My Action Research and the use of innovation and various "out of the box" strategies, and teaching methods in the right combinations that meet the students individual learning styles and their current instructional level, has a tremendous impact on their progress.. Additionally, having a positive and open mindset throughout this action research project, has had a positive impact on students and myself. Students are now asking to use various innovation in other subject areas, and now being proactive, and engaging in access instruction in their other subject areas (mathematics, social studies, etc.). This action research was successful in answering my research question, in utilizing a variety of innovation and innovative strategies, in assisting students in making progress and improving their current reading comprehension. All of the students made gains on their current reading comprehension by thirty-percent or higher. Nine out of 10 students made a gain of a half year or higher grade level in their reading decoding. 2 students made a full grade level improvement just in the three-week duration of this action research.
The results were evident that use this of various innovation and technological supports, assists students with improving their reading comprehension and reading decoding. The results also provided me with internal excitement and affirmation. Lastly, the students' enthusiasm and engagement throughout the project served as evidence that while the students range from non-reader to fourth grade, and are between the ages of 15 to 22, that learning and progress sill occurs with the right tools, support materials, engagement, and delivery. |
