Action Research: Reading While Listening - Post 4 - session 2 +3

Second session
In this session, I used two chapters for my experiment. Both chapters were read at home. One was for reading while listening, and one for only reading. I had skimmed through the two chapters before reading, and took the main points that were highlighted in bold to build my comprehension test.
And I took a point for every unrecognized word, sentence, or phrase in a chapter and subtracted it from 100 to calculate my recognizing grade.
The next table shows the data I had collected for this session

Chapter Type
Recognizing grade (A)
Assessment test score
 (B)
Comprehension (depends on columns A & B)
Reading Chapter
70 out of 100
55%
From A& B columns, R/L improved my comprehension more than R
Reading/Listening Chapter
89 out of 100
77%









From the table, I could tell that my R/L comprehension was better than my R comprehension

Third session
To measure my improvement for this session, I did the same thing that I had in the second session. I also did something new, which was increasing the speed of the reader on my player by .25 to see what would happen. I also had another new chapter for reading and listening, and another new one for reading only.

I was really excited to see what kind of results that I would find.

After I read both chapters, I recorded my findings on the assessment tests scores and on the
recognizing grade section. I started to compare between the reading while listening chapter and the reading alone chapter. The next table shows the data I had collected for this session

Chapter Type
Recognizing grade (A)
Assessment test score (B)
Comprehension (depends on columns A & B)
Reading Chapter
56 out of 100
52%
From A& B columns, R/L improved my comprehension more than R
Reading/Listening Chapter with increasing speed by 0.25
82 out of 100
60%
