The Effect of Interactive Reading Aloud on Student Reading Comprehension, Reading Motivation and Reading Fluency
International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, v13 n4 p421-431 Mar 2021
This study aimed to examine the effect of interactive reading aloud (IRA) lessons on students' reading comprehension levels, reading motivation, and reading fluency skills. A mixed experimental design was used to model the study. This study was conducted in a Turkish public school in the academic year 2017-2018, with 62 second-grade students, 22 in the first experimental group, 20 in the second experimental group, and 20 in the control group, and it lasted for 11 weeks. The IRA lessons within the research scope were performed by the researcher in one experimental group and by a second-grade teacher who was responsible for the class itself in the other experimental group. Reading Comprehension Rubric, Motivation to Read Profile scale, and Rubric for Reading Prosody were used as the data collection tool. The findings of the study revealed that reading comprehension, reading motivation, and reading fluency levels of the students in the experimental groups were higher than those of the students in the class, where lessons were taught on the basis of the current Turkish lesson curriculum. Furthermore, it was determined that IRA practices improved students' levels of reading comprehension, reading motivation and reading fluency skills, independently of the practitioner.
