Running head: CASE STUDY RESEARCH REPORT Case Study Research Report Melva Yousaf Grand Canyon University: RDG 581 August 3, 2011 Introduction The purpose of this study is to find ways to help a child improve their reading test scores. How is it that a child who reads two grades above their level cannot perform well when it comes to taking state assessments? Is it the teacher or is the child playing around when it comes to taking tests?

Methodology The student â€Å"Stanley Clark† will be used as the case study. Stanley is a ten year old fifth grader that attends North County Elementary School. He does well in Reading and reads at an eighth grade level. In the classroom he seems to be hyper active often. It is hard for him to keep quiet and still for a long time period. It is hard for him to focus on a topic if it does not interest him. Outside of the classroom the child is about the same. He has a three year old brother that he still runs around the house and plays with. His mom thinks that he has not matured to his age level yet. On the other hand, she claims that he is always quick to pick up a book and read it. He typically enjoys reading at home and while at school. He is a child that would rather read a book than go outside and play. He can read a two hundred page chapter book like Shiloh in about an hour and a half. He also enjoys reading books to his little brother. This child is an English speaking student. He comes from a very loving family. Most of his immediate family members are educators, including his mom, two aunts and grandparents.
