Action Research by FSU Student

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.
