The Effects Of Parent Volunteers On A Child's Literacy Growth, Francesca Marie Formolo
The Effects Of Parent Volunteers On A Child's Literacy Growth, Francesca Marie Formolo
Theses Digitization Project
Research has shown that the more active parents are in their child's education the more likely their child is to achieve academic success. Based on these findings this research project focused on how parent volunteers influenced their child's literacy growth. It is hypothesized that as the parent spends time in the classroom they are given more opportunities to interact with other members of the classroom community. It is believed that this interaction will influence the way in which the parent works with their child and have a positive influence on their child's literacy growth.

Creative Drama As A Source For Literacy Development, B. Joanne Kirkner

Students achieve knowledge by different means. I find that a child allowed to learn from one's personal style finds purpose in learning and develops a desire to read. With this in mind I have designed this project to be used as a resource for teachers wanting to implement creative drama, in the classroom, as an avenue for improving reading abilities of low-progress readers.
