Action Research Plan


Topic:
At- risk students in grades k-2 with their reading.


Questions:
Why are these students at risk? What is keeping them behind? What programs can we start that will
help develop their reading skills? Would they benefit from a reading pull out program? Why are we
waiting so long to try and help these students? What happens to the students once they leave the
intervention program?


Goal:
To help at risk students reach their targeted reading level at the end of the school year.
