Abstract

Description

This project was a request by the Director of the Adult Education program at Valley Opportunity Council. Initially, the project looked at the connection between reading and writing. The final product is a meta-analysis on writing interventions that are critical in developing strong writers and readers in adult education classrooms. This descriptive meta-analysis analyzed the effect of a focused writing instruction in adult basic education programs. Findings are from quantitative and qualitative intervention studies focusing on spelling (n=8), use of technology (n=13), journaling (n=17) and revision (n=7).
