Competency 6d-Successive Fractions Search

Search Query:…learning early literacy skills and the effects on children’s reading development

Database: ERIC/Internet

Search Strategy:

First, I searched for each facet individually, with the following results.

45,121-(reading development) or (literacy development)

244,294-children or child or kids not (teen or teenager)

350,081-((early literacy) or literacy or reading) and ((skill or skills) or (strategy or strategies) or (method or methods))

S1=((reading development) or (literacy development)) AND ((children or child or kids not (teen or teenager))=14,570

S2=S1+((early literacy) or literacy or reading) and ((skill or kills) or (strategy or strategies) or (method or methods))=11,367

Because the number of results is still to large to work with, I limited the results to the last five years and to only books or journal articles.

Results: 38

Constructing Families, Constructing Literacy: A Critical Analysis of Family Literacy Websites (EJ798681)

Most of the first 10 results were very useful. However, a few of the results were studies done in other countries. I do not feel like these would be as beneficial.
