Reading instructors at our college have been using the
ReadingPlus program for courses they teach. Except for this semester, I, too, have used ReadingPlus.
Why not this semester? While I had ReadingPlus slotted into my course, when it came time to introduce it and assign it to my students, I didn't think they were ready for the added load of coursework, which would probably amount to and hour or two a week. Consequently, I kept putting off ReadingPlus until I felt they were ready.
Well, I never felt they were ready and now the end of the semester has arrived. So I'll do a comparative study of students this semester with students of past semesters using the Nelson-Denny Form H results which I give as a post-test at the conclusion of the course.
I will report the results at a future date.
Meanwhile, I'd like to know about others' experiences with ReadingPlus. What went well? Not well? Best practices?
