1. The problem is recognizing rhyme and word families in text.
2. The rationale for the project is that recognizing rhyming and word families is critical to reading at a later age. Recognizing these words helps readers decode words more efficiently than just sounding out every word.
3. The strategy that is going to be implemented is a variety of rhyming games.
4. The guiding question for this project is "How can I use a variety of rhyming games to help my students recognize rhyme and word families in text?" They also have a supporting question which is "Will the rhyming strategies change students attitude about reading instruction?"
5. Research evidence is presented that this strategy will work. The research shows that using games has been proven to aid in rhyme development and recognition.
6. The data will be collected by using checklists, observations, and work samples.

Action Research Projects by Teachers
1. The Holy Grail: In Search of Reading Comprehension in the Second Grade
2. "How does teaching second graders to question the text impact their reading comprehension?"
3. The strategies used are cooperative grouping, and summarizing and note taking.
4. The teacher did much research on the idea and was using the research found to guide her to "finding the Holy Grail".
5. She is using different strategies to get the results she is hoping to find. In order to get accurate data she is taking results from each of the levels and each of the strategies. The work produces mixed results.
6. The results were analyzed by taking what the students had produced or wrote and seeing how it related to the story. The teacher also changed her mind about what she thought "comprehension" should be. She took these results and her changed mind to change the curriculum a little.
7. She found the results to be what she thought they would. The students were actually inferring, developing a stronger sense of characters, and the post-its they were creating were more toward the comprehension of the story.
8. By reading about this research project, I have realized that if you want your students to comprehend something you have to teach them how to ask the right questions. By taking this time it will help the students be not only better readers but be able to comprehend what they have just read.
