My Personal Research Journey 

As I have stated before, I am a novice in this research process.  Everything that I am learning about this process is new information for me.  At times, I am finding the process intriguing and interesting, and at other times, I am overwhelmed by the wealth of information that is new to me.  I value any insights and suggestions that any of you can offer along the way.
 

The topic that I have chosen to research is the impact of repeated read alouds on emergent literacy.  As a classroom teacher, I have witnessed many children begin kindergarten who have not had much of an exposure to storybooks and/or have not been read to as other children in their class.  I have used read alouds with several grade levels to teach vocabulary as well as to help with comprehension skills.  I have chosen this topic because I would like to learn more about this reading/teaching strategy, and I would like to better implement this strategy to help children develop their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.

  1. Dianne, emergent literacy is one of my favorite topics in the development of young children. Books are very important in the development of literacy skills. If I come across any info to assist you in your research, I will definitely share! Good luck!

  2. Dianne, emergent literacy is so important. I teach a training course on how to read books to children. I will be very interested in what you find out.

  3. Crazy this process! I am in the same boat you are. I have found that the longer I plug away at it the better I get at it!
