Description
This project aims to compare and contrast the literacy gains made by two third grade students who participated in Rec N' Read Literacy Intervention Sessions. Rec N' Read sessions occur once a week for an hour and a half. These sessions begin with thirty minutes of recreational activity coordinated and supervised by future recreation professionals (specifically recreation therapists). The remaining hour is spent working on literacy techniques through one-on-one and group intervention. During the literacy intervention, participants work on skills such as word work, comprehension strategies, reading and writing skills. Data for this research was gathered through the administration of pre-assessment evaluations (including informal and formal language, reading and writing assessments), bi-weekly probe data (on reading and writing skills), and post-assessment evaluations. We aim to understand the influence of recreational activity on gains made during literacy intervention.
