JustificationJustification• Leonardtown did not make AYP last year
o As a result, SIP is almost singularly focused on improving amount of students reading at proficient or advanced by county benchmark and by DIEBELS
o Students in 3rd grade received lower than proficient scores in identifying and defining:
o Setting and mood (38%)o Words, lines, and stanzas(56%)o Main ideas and themes (57%)

StrategyStrategy• Choose two appropriately leveled texts of similar level
and type o First Text
Will be taught using typical classroom strategies Pre- and post-test for content comprehension
o Second Text Will again use typical classroom strategies Review of the text will be done using
animation/cartoons constructed by the intern that will ask students to sequence main events
Pre- and post-test for content comprehension

Research questions Research questions • Does sequencing of cartoon technology increase
student content comprehension?
• Is cartoon technology more effective than discussion in increasing students’ reading comprehension?

Pre-post assessment itemsPre-post assessment items• Grandma’s Records
o Text-specific questions assessing vocabulary, story sequencing, and overall content comprehension
o Ex. “How does Grandma use this tradition to connect with her culture?”
• The Talking Cloth• Text-specific questions similar
to those for the previous text• Sequencing question included
pictures from cartoon supplement used in review

Pre-post findingsPre-post findings• Our findings!
o There was a significant increase in reading comprehension for both Grandma’s Records (p = .00000001) and Talking Cloth (p = .000006).
o However, there was not a significantly higher increase in reading comprehension when using cartoon technology rather than traditional classroom strategies. (p = .38)

Answers to research Answers to research questionsquestions
• Does cartoon technology increase student reading comprehension more then discussion?o There was a greater increase in
reading comprehension when using animations vs. discussion (39 points vs. 42 points)
o However, this difference in reading comprehension scores was not significant.

LimitationsLimitations
• Timingo The cartoon handout was done the Thursday
before the Halloween weekend, so the school as a whole was off task.
• Curriculum Demandso Due to passing guides and test schedules,
activities such as these are difficult to work into the classes tight schedule.
• Small sample size/less data due to unforseeable events

Next steps?Next steps?• Yes, this strategy would be
recommended for future application.• Next time, we would like to have
the students create their own cartoon strip of the story. This gives each student responsibility for their own instruction and comprehension.
o Also, due to lack of resources the cartoon had to be printed out in black and white, rather than color. Color would appeal to a larger variety of learning styles.

The Big Picture!The Big Picture!• Animation and cartoon technology has been
proven by various research to be not only useful as an instrument of instruction, but also as a way to connect with students in a digital age.
• Even though our experiment did not prove that
animation technology significantly improved reading comprehension over traditional teaching methods, including the arts in instruction appeals to multiple learning styles and student skill and ability.
