Abstract

Students in third grade continue to score below proficient on standardized tests af1er instruction and intervention. The purpose of this study was to detem1ine whether the use of a video camera as a self-assessment tool, with a group of struggling third grade readers, would increase reading comprehension scores. The Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) assessment was used to test the students' gains in reading comprehension. The results were not statistically significant. Although some gains were made there was not enough long term data to make an impact. The teacher/researcher recommends more time and use of video to motivate and engage struggling readers.
