Current studies show that the effective use of reading strategies can increase math scores. This action research is to explore effective reading strategies to enhance the teaching of mathematical skills and to provide research based strategies for increasing math scores. Students are not fluent readers and lack basic comprehension skills which causes them difficulties in trying to solve problem solving sentences. This study is to enhance the teaching of effective math strategies, to enhance the teaching of literacy strategies to support math, and to enhance the teaching of reading strategies to increase math scores. http://web.me.com/sj4987/Action_Research_site_rebuilt/Final_Project_Month_12/Entries/2010/6/12_Can_Reading_Strategies_Increase_Math_Scores.html fc27fe00-ad37-4e7e-b39d-eb9f92fb261c Sat, 12 Jun 2010 13:48:45 -0400 http://web.me.com/sj4987/Action_Research_site_rebuilt/Final_Project_Month_12/Entries/2010/6/8_Month_12_Literature_Review_Reflection_Wordly.html 889ec40c-2ecf-4734-a76b-e714949b82e7 Tue, 8 Jun 2010 15:38:04 -0400 I have learned that when beginning a literature review you should use your day to day findings and dig a little deeper because the problems that students are having in math and other subject areas did not just start. These problems have built up over a period of time. I have also found that it takes ample time to search for research when completing a literature review, and then there is time needed to analyze and process the information.<br/> I have found that many educators are experiencing the same kinds of problems with their students. Educators are searching for effective instructional strategies to reach our students through the internet, resource books, and collaboration. Our students are important to us and we face the daily challenges to help them to become successful life long learners.<br/> http://web.me.com/sj4987/Action_Research_site_rebuilt/Final_Project_Month_12/Entries/2010/6/8_Month_12_program_reflection_podcast.html d1da6159-cd46-4dac-8adc-67eb44399a99 Tue, 8 Jun 2010 14:56:21 -0400 <br/>FuFull Sail University Making it happen With <br/> technology.
