Data Collection Techniques & Results

I collected most of my data from my students from last year. I used their journals, questionnaires, surveys, interviews, videotapes, and pictures, as well as students work. To determine student's growth academically I gathered data from their reading comprehension assessments that were given about every six to eight weeks.
This year I started to implement the fluency strategies immediately with other reading material besides the fluency cards they use within the reading program. I used the pre assessment scores to compare them to the post assessment scores and see whether using the strategies were of any benefit. This year's students scores turned out to be higher than the scores students from last year overall. The results show that students scored higher on their reading comprehension assessments as a result of using their reading fluency strategies in class.
