Morphological Analysis Pathway for Reading

Abstract

This study hopes to examine the effectiveness of the Morphological Analysis Pathway to Reading (MAP-R) as a way to improve literacy in at-risk children such as bilingual or hard of hearing students. Language fluency is critical for students, especially at a young age, so it is important to investigate what methods could be used to increase literacy for students who may be more prone to struggle with language. Data from students was collected, such as the number of words and percentage of different categories of words. This data gives the ability to track students’ progress using MAP-R. Future studies in this field could include altering the program to see further how students learn best.
