Reading and Schooling Across Time and Space: Following Students from First Grade Through High School

This ten-year longitudinal study has examined the understandings and attitudes about reading that urban students bring to classrooms, and how those understandings and attitudes change over time as students progress through school. This phase of research involves collecting spoken data (interviews with parents, students, teachers and employers), observational data (shadowing of students at school and work), and documents (photographs, artworks, journals and audiotape created by student). Findings from this phase of the study will then be compared to themes and findings from earlier phases of the study to create longitudinal case studies for individual children. Longitudinal inter-case relationships will also be explored.
