Literacy in High School Black Males
Abstract
A supplemental reading program that was offered in a Minnesota school district with a diverse student population was analyzed. The needs of the adolescent learner, building relationships, improving self-concept, individualized instruction for identified reading skills gaps, and aid with homework were the focal points of the discussion. Changes in reading scores in the Supplemental reading program, as well as program teacher surveys, program teacher interviews, and student satisfaction surveys, were used to evaluate the progress made in improving academic performance. Previous research found a correlation between self-beliefs, motivation, and
achievement. These elements were incorporated in this program evaluation. The results of this evaluation showed that the program had promising results in terms of narrowing the achievement gap and improving academic self-confidence.
