An Evaluation Study Of Fifth-Grade Independent Reading And Reading Achievement, Kari Allen
Doctor of Education (Ed.D)
Independent reading has been implemented in elementary classrooms for decades. However, what independent reading looks like, teacher expectations related to it, and student attitudes toward it differ greatly depending on the individual classroom.
