6-1-10 The online form for the Motivation to Read Profile developed by Linda Gambrell (1996) and modified by me for the purposes of the Book Trust program, is noted below. As of today, I have one school that has had each of their second graders complete the form. When communicating with the teachers from the 4 randomly selected Orange County schools, I provided the link below along with an implementation guide. This document long with the word document for the profile is noted below. Lee-Anne, I think this is a good survey for students participating in your program. I hope that you get feedback from the schools. I am not getting a ton of feedback on my survey, but it is the end of the year.

I spoke to my advisor today regarding this assignment. He said that if only 1 of the 4 schools completes the profile I can use this data. Basically, he said use whatever you have. Schools have until June 9 (the last day of school for OCPS) to complete the profile. I am in somewhat of a holding pattern until then. I am also waiting on the GUIDE that Boote siad he would send to us. I emailed and he is out of the office until Thursday June 3. Hopefully, he will send this out upon his return. I am trying to get some work done before my children are out of school next Wednesday too! OH....also, I may be out of town the day we present our final project. My advisor said that I could present via Skype, if this is the case. I would then send my powerpoint to one of you to load on the class computer and then present using Skype. I won't know until mid-July if this will be the case (my son may be playing baseball in VA that weekend but I won't know until they WIN the state tournament...they WON last year so the liklihood is great). Thanks! Lee-Anne

7-16-10 I got 182 responses to my survey. I have imported this into excel from Livetext and have created pivot tables to share the results of the final 5 questions that relate specifically to the Book Trust program, the focus of this studies evaluation. I did this for the trifold for the poster session. I plan to use basic descriptive stats to analyze the date. I have 32 pages of information including my references right now and have quite a bit of info. to add. I'm getting there!
