Purpose and Significance of My Action Research Project

I decided to go a different way with my action research project.  In a couple of years Reading Recovery may no longer be around.  Reading Recovery is a reading intervention that gives students extra support in reading.  Because of budget cuts this program may be taken away. 

The purpose of this research project is to investigate the impact of Reading Recovery.  I want to investigate how the students grow throughout this program and what might happen if students are not given this extra support.

 The significance of this project is to show that students are better off because of Reading Recovery.  The students are the "key stakeholders."  Reading Recovery allows the students to receive extra help in reading and this is done one-on-one with the Reading Recovery teacher.  Not only will the students receive Guided Reading with me in a group of 4 to 6 students but they get another chance to be with the Reading Recovery teachers.  Some students need extra help and this program gives them this and so much more.
