The topic I would choose would be literacy.  In America students continue to graduate from school programs with an average 4th grade reading level.   When a person can read the chances of them graduating from high school increases.   Having a high school diploma increases the chance of a person going on to college or getting a job. Lower the crime rate and making for a better community as a whole.   What can research teach us about promoting literacy and a love of reading.

My Personal Research Journal

My chosen topic for the simulation is literacy in early childhood development.  I chose this topic because as a child I struggled with reading and it affected not just my reading, but also my spelling, writing and myself esteem.   An insight that I have gained thus far from constructing the research chart are the terms and definitions that define the process of research.  I looked up many of the websites list in chapter 2 and have found many articles about the elementary sage student.  Do we really have to wait until a child is in elementary school?  Could something have been done to help me before I was put in the low reading group?  At the library I was able to archive a few magazines and copied articles about reading.  If you know of any resources, have advice or insight that might help me with this course I would greatly appreciated it.  Warmly, Lilly B.
