    <title> Shirley Jordan’s  Abstract</title>
    <link>http://web.me.com/sj4987/Action_Research_site_rebuilt/Final_Project_Month_12/Final_Project_Month_12.html</link>
    <description>Since students are experiencing difficulties with a repertoire of math skills, teachers   &lt;br/&gt;  should find creative and innovative ways to teach math skills while utilizing reading &lt;br/&gt;    skills.  Current studies show that the effective use of reading strategies can increase &lt;br/&gt;    math scores.  This action research is to explore effective reading strategies to enhance &lt;br/&gt;   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.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

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.&lt;br/&gt;      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.&lt;br/&gt;</description>
