Abstract

This action research contains interventions relating to reading comprehension skills for high school students who are not reading at grade level, specifically ninth grade. Interventions include think aloud (Smith, 2006), re-reading (Hedin et al, 2010), and immediate summarizing (What Works Clearinghouse, 2020). It is also important to note that simply adding additional reading interventions can be useful in itself (Kidron et al, 2014). Students who have choice in their reading (Marchand-Martella et al, 2013) and the intrinsic motivation to use these strategies (Lepper et al, 2005) can raise their reading levels in general. This paper will exhibit the intervention strategies that will be used to raise student reading levels in ninth grade.
