Also many studies used tests and test results for direct instruction, thus introducing additional variables. Furthermore, the choice of subjects and disciplines has been limited, the better part being taken from college psychology and sociology classes or high school science classes. This investigation was not an attempt to modify previous experiments, nor was it an attempt to identify which …

Student Work

School success and future goals hinge upon a person's ability to unlock the written code and to comprehend the meaning. From the halls of the Congress of the United States has come the "right to read" proposal. Every child has the "right to read" as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment of our Constitution.
