Inquiry Project Ideas

For my Inquiry Project, I hope to discuss the various methods of implementing read alouds into Special Education settings. To begin, I would like to address the question of whether or not read alouds are worth the time and effort required to properly include them, particularly when involving students with special needs. Moreover, I would want to seek out the alternative ways in which individuals have discovered to incorporate such activities into their normal academic routines. Overall, I think these queries should prove broad enough to supply an adequate source of new information.

I would expect to discover and determine my final sources during the next several weeks. Specifically, I plan to utilize both online research and, perhaps, an observation in a special needs classroom to provide and support the answers I locate through this project. Finally, and although my opinion may change as I delve further into my investigation, I am primarily aiming to complete either a paper or PowerPoint presentation.

  1. Sounds good. I wonder if read alouds are done more or less in special education settings? And I wonder if the way they are done differs? Hmmm... Special ed research is often focused on direct/explicit instruction...so I'll be interested in what resources you find on read alouds with this population.
