| description | This article reports on a research study investigating student-described engagement with selfselected
text in a classroom where a core reading program (in the context of this study meaning
instruction based primarily on manuals and commercial textbooks) comprised the majority of
their literacy instruction. Fourth grade students were invited to characterize their responses to
their self-selected reading within focus group discussions. Data instruments included audio
taped focus group discussions, student photographs, observational field notes, and students’
literature. Implementing the constant comparative method for data analysis, outcomes were
determined and implications for classroom practice suggested. |
