Children's perceptions of their reading program in elementary school : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to make an attempt to fill this gap in reading research, and to ascertain if children understood the purposes of their reading program. The twenty-six students questioned in this survey were asked questions about the portions of the directed reading lesson included in their normal classwork. Then their answers were analyzed to determine if the students generally understood the objectives of their assignments.
