GOAL: Monitor reading progress and accelerate reading levels of students' who are not reading on grade level and provide intrinsic incentives and support for students' who are reading on and above grade level.
What is the relationship between students' participation in Accelerated Reader (AR) reading monitoring (assessment) program and their success in passing standardized tests (STARR)?
What actions can our faculty take to improve the reading achievement of our lowest quartile students'?
My action research will focus on student and school performance.
The purpose of the action research is to investigate student reading levels in grades 3-6 and measure the growth of reading levels from the beginning of the year to the end of the year for all students'.
We will support growth by providing specific support and intrinsic incentives for those students' who are reading below grade level and support and provide intrinsic incentives for those students who are reading on and above their grade level.
My action research study will take place at Bowie Fine Arts Academy elementary campus inMidland , Texas
I will be targeting the students in third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. This includes a mixture of Caucasian, Hispanic, African American, economically disadvantaged, and a percentage of students who are on free and reduced lunch. The action research plan will focus on about 300 students. The sample size I have chosen focuses on the grade levels that are affected by standardized testing (STARR).
I will conduct the action research by forming a literacy team, surveying stakeholders, disaggregating data of the target population, setting up and carrying out support plans for the students' based on reading levels, and evaluating findings on a month to month basis through the 2011-2012 school year.

I am interested in your findings about the use of Accelerated Reader. I know some of our teachers find it valuable and some like other strategies to support reading. If your school has an active Site Based Decision Making Team, they may be helpful.
